I already know about this and even renamed it. But I was waiting for a more suitable occasion for the announcement (you will soon understand what I meant).SpaceFanatic64 wrote:about a month ago, the IAU gave a number to Neptune's moon S/2004 N 1. It's now called Neptune XIV, and it would be very helpful if you could change the name of the moon to the current one.

Art Blos, I suggest changing the color of Neptune's moon, Proteus, to a reddish color. The only color shot should probably be used as a refrence point.

- The only color photo of Proteus taken by Voyager 2 on it's Neptune flyby.

There's a problem with this: Voyager 2 wasn't there to take true color images of the moons it flew by. Many of the color images it took were not actually true color (just look at Voyager 2's pictures of the Saturnian moons and compare them with Cassini's images, and you'll see the difference right away). This image of Proteus is probably similar in that it's not true color.SpaceFanatic64 wrote:Art Blos, I suggest changing the color of Neptune's moon, Proteus, to a reddish color.

Yes, you are right, it isn't a true color image. But I learned how to process raw images from Voyager 2 in approximately real colors (like this Jupiter image).
Using C1137328 and C1137350 I can say that Proteus is grey.
