This ice giant planet Neptune is a banded, beautiful, fascinating sapphire blue, the most distant major planet in our star - it is also surrounded by a strange big moon, probably not the moon at all. Neptune's moon, Triton, may really be an uninvited guest - an alien deformed child, absorbed by the current parent planet Neptune from the cold. The characteristics of the Triton show are incredibly similar to those seen on the dwarf planet Pluto, an icy distant resident from

It is a reservoir of multiple glistening hail stars, as well as some other frozen objects - some large, some small - located in the ring around our sun orbit around Neptune. Triton and Pluto have roughly the same density and volume composition, and a similar atmosphere - they all run in unusual orbits. In addition, Neptune's satellite system is not what astronomers expect from a giant giant ice planet that inhabits the outer solar system. In November 2017, an astronomer team announced that they had explored the possibility of a common satellite system that Neptune actually created, which was destroyed after capturing its savage giant satellite Triton.
Because of the many similarities between Triton and Pluto, people have always believed that there is some historical connection between them. In fact, it was once suggested that Pluto is really the escape moon of Neptune, but now it is impossible. It is now believed that Triton is free to spin around the sun like Pluto, but unfortunately captured by Neptune - and Pluto is free to freely and freely in its distant birthplace.
Triton is unique in our planet's planetary mass satellites. This is because its orbit is retrograde to Neptune's rotation and tilts relative to Neptune's equator. This shows that Triton was not born in orbit around Neptune, but was captured by this giant planet.
Astronomers' current understanding of the birth of giant planets heralds an increase in gas, which greatly increases the sheer size of these gaseous giants. According to theory, from

At this early stage, around the formation of planets, it eventually became the strange nursery that produced the giant planetary system, forming a co-planar and progressive system [orbiting the planet in the same direction] of the natural satellite system with many satellites similar to Jupiter and Saturn. the way.
However, Neptune is weird. Compared to the other three gaseous giants on the periphery of the Sun: Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus, this huge gaseous world has only a few satellites. Among the four giant planets that live in our outer kingdom, Jupiter and Saturn are classified as gas giants, while Uranus and Neptune are ice giants. Although all four planets are large in size, Jupiter and Saturn are much larger than Uranus and Neptune and have a higher quality gas envelope. Ice giants Uranus and Neptune are small in size, contain large solid cores, and have a lower quality of motion than those of the two gas giant planets.
Neptune has only 14 satellites, much less than the number of Jupiter 70. In addition, from

Neptune's moon is very small. However, Triton is an exception. In fact, Triton has 99.7% of the total weight of Neptune's entire satellite system. The second largest irregular moon in our solar system, Saturn's Phoebe, accounts for only 0.03% of the quality of Triton. It is believed that Triton was trapped by the parent planet it used after a period of time when Neptune had formed a satellite system. This means that capturing the roaming Triton may be a catastrophic event for Neptune's original satellites, destroying their orbit and causing them to explode to each other - and then creating a gravel disk.
Looking inside from Triton, there are seven normal satellites, all of which show progress trajectories on planes close to the Neptune air plane, some of which are orbiting inside the Neptune ring. It is believed that these seven small satellites are reabsorbed in the rubble ring formed by Neptune after capturing Triton. This can happen for a while after Triton's orbit becomes a loop. In addition, in addition to Triton, Neptune is also surrounded by six other external irregular satellites, including Nereid, whose orbits are far from Neptune and tend to be highly inclined: the three orbits of these satellites progress in orbit, and the last The orbit has a retrograde orbit. In fact, Nereid has an unusually tight and eccentric orbit for an irregular moon. This suggests that Nereid may have been an ordinary moon, and when Triton was attacked by Neptune's gravity, it was severely disturbed and nudged to its current position. The outermost Neptune irregular satellites, Psamathe and Neso, have the largest orbits of any natural satellite known to date in our solar system.
Triton is the second satellite in our solar system and was found to have a fairly large atmosphere, mainly composed of nitrogen - containing less carbon monoxide and methane. After William Russell discovered that Neptune was discovered in 1846, only 13 days later, Triton was one of the coldest in our solar system, with a surface temperature of only about 38 Kelvin. Triton's frozen surface is coated with nitrogen, carbon dioxide, methane and water ice, and it has a high geometric albedo of over 70%. Surface features include a huge Antarctic hat, an ancient crater that is cut by steep slopes and mantles, and younger features that are thought to be formed by endogenous processes. from

In 1989, Neptune flew over Neptune, and its observations revealed active geysers in polar caps that were heated by the sun. The geyser threw feathers to an impressive height of 8 kilometers. Triton has a reliable high density, reflecting rocks account for about two-thirds of its mass, while ice [mainly water ice] makes up the remaining one-third.
The mass distribution of the Neptune satellite is unbalanced. In fact, it is the most unbalanced satellite system among any of the giant planets that live in our solar system. Triton occupies almost all the quality of the system, and all other satellites together account for only one-third of the 1%. This is very similar to the satellite system surrounding the ring planet Saturn, a large, smoky orange satellite Titan - the second largest satellite in our solar system [more than 95% of the total mass] of Saturn's satellite system.
Shortly after Neptune was in trouble, Triton's track was very weird. This suggests that Triton's capture can cause confusion in the orbit of Neptune's original internal defense - which causes them to collide with each other, creating a gravel disk caused by these catastrophic smashes. For this reason, Neptune's current internal satellites are probably not the original satellites formed with Neptune.
Only after Triton's orbit is rounded, some of the gravel around it can be re-verified to form the Neptune satellite that astronomers observe today. Triton's highly destructive invasion of the Neptune system may be why Neptune's satellite does not meet the mass ratio of 10,000:1 between the parent planet and the progeny of the moon, that is, the system of all other giant planets in the satellite system observed in the satellite .
Over the years, several theories have been proposed to explain the mechanism by which Neptune captures Triton. One theory is that Triton is in trouble in the three-body encounter. According to this situation, Triton is the only survivor of the binary. from

There was a physical shock during the devastating close contact with Neptune.
Numerical simulations have been linked to show that Neptune's moon, Halided, had been bombed to Nered in the past 0.41 times. Although it is not known whether this collision actually happened, both satellites showed a similar gray. This means that Halided may have a large piece of Nereid broken in the collision.
Apparently, Triton is a bizarre world of the moon that spreads its huge parent planet in the wrong direction. With Triton leaving its birthplace from

To the moon of a major planet in our solar system. So now, Triton lives in its new home, around the planet of Neptune, but circumvents backwards. Like all satellites, they are now also dependent on their parent planet. In fact, Triton's name implies the dependence of the Greek god Mythology Triton on Neptune.
