Voyager 2 got within 50,600 miles of Uranus during its flyby. This photograph of Neptune was taken at a range of 4.4 million miles on August 20, 1989, 4 days and 20 hours before closest approach.

Humanity’s first close-up images from Neptune came 34 years ago from NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft. The images shows bright cirrus clouds high in its atmosphere above most of its methane.
