Triton

Triton

Triton reflects so much sunlight, that its surface is far colder than it should be at its distance: just 38 degrees above absolute zero. It has a thin haze of atmosphere, which is unusual for a moon. Many of the dark streaks at the top are made of dust left behind by erupting geysers.
