It was described to possess a "cantaloupe" terrain by its discoverer William Lassell, and its high density and retrograde motion suggest that it is a captured Kuiper Belt object.
A 2 second lag in the stellar-occultation light curve characteristic of this body shows asymmetrical mass distribution possibly caused by winds. It was described to possess a "cantaloupe" terrain by its discoverer William Lassell, and its high density and retrograde motion suggest that it is a captured Kuiper Belt object. It is notable for exhibiting cryovolcanism, and it is the coldest object in the solar system. For 10 points, identify this largest moon of Neptune.
