Few worlds in our solar system are as fascinating as Neptune's icy moon Triton. This bizarre moon is covered in intriguing features, the most noticeable being its active geysers, but also its unique backwards orbit, making it the only large moon that rotates clockwise. But it's not just its surface and orbit that are fascinating, below its frozen crust, a secret subsurface ocean may exist that potentially harbours the right ingredients necessary for life. So much of Triton still remains a mystery, but thanks to the Voyager 2 spacecraft, we can take a closer look at this incredible moon!
