A Voyager 2 image of Neptune showcasing two dark spots, the Earth-sized Great Dark Spot and Dark Spot 2, along with a bright cloud feature known as the Scooter. These are high-pressure anti-cyclones in Neptune's atmosphere. The image shows the planet's characteristic blue hue due to methane in its atmosphere.
