Two Hours Before Neptune
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap100808.html

Explanation:
Two hours before closest approach to Neptune in 1989, the Voyager 2
robot spacecraft snapped this picture. Clearly visible for the first
time were long light-colored cirrus-type clouds floating high in
Neptune's atmosphere. Shadows of these clouds can even be seen on lower
cloud decks. Most of Neptune's atmosphere is made of hydrogen and
helium, which is invisible. Neptune's blue color therefore comes from
smaller amounts of atmospheric methane, which preferentially absorbs red 
light. Neptune has the fastest winds in the Solar System, with gusts 
reaching 2000 kilometers per hour. Speculation holds that diamonds may 
be created in the dense hot conditions that exist under the clouds-tops 
of Uranus and Neptune.
