1.4 Voyager – last picture show
This classic NASA video from 1989 shows all four planetary flybys of Voyager 2, but dwells longest on Neptune, its rings and its moon Triton. It’s a blend of animation and actual images. Hopefully by now you’ll recognise many of the moons featured. The ‘3-D’ views of moon surfaces are not real; they’re simulations based on the actual images.
There’s music and some background sound on this video but no commentary. The strange wire-like lines you see at times are representations of magnetic fields and radiation belts.
