Its largest crater is the 27km wide Mazomba, and its surface is defined by maculae and cryovolcanic flows such as Rauch Planitia.
Its largest crater is the 27km wide Mazomba, and its surface is defined by maculae and cryovolcanic flows such as Rauch Planitia. It has an odd orbit; it was the first satellite to be observed with a retrograde orbit, and the latitude where the Sun is directly overhead can change from far north to far south over several decades, alternately melting and freezing half of its surface. Had it not been captured, it probably would have been called a planet since it is larger and usually closer to the sun than Pluto. FTP, identify this discovery of William Lassel, the largest moon of Neptune.
