NASA has shared the last image taken by Voyager 2 on August 28, 1989, captured from over 4.7 billion km away . The distant picture features Neptune prominently on the left, with its largest moon Triton visible on the right . This image marked Voyager 2’s final visual record before its optical cameras were permanently shut down to conserve power . From that vantage point, most of the sunlit sides of both bodies were oriented away from the spacecraft—offering a rare perspective as it departed the outer solar system. (PC: NASA)
