Cosmoscope
A living map of the solar system
Despina — moon orbiting Neptune, explore its interactive 3D model in Cosmoscope.
Explore Despina in a live 3D Solar System. Follow its calculated motion and inspect real astronomical data, distances and orbital facts.
A dark, irregular moon about 150 km across, found in Voyager 2 images weeks before the 1989 flyby. It orbits just inside the narrow Le Verrier ring, and its gravity may help keep that ring in place.
Cosmoscope places Despina in the Solar System using astronomical ephemeris or orbital elements, updated for the simulation time. Explore its calculated motion, distance and orbital facts in the interactive 3D view. Accuracy depends on the orbital model and its valid time range.
