Triton is no ordinary moon. With an impossibly young surface and active cryovolcanoes, Neptune’s giant moon has baffled scientists for decades. How can this frozen world be so active, so far from the Sun? In this video, we’re digging into the latest discoveries, including a surprising mystery hiding deep beneath its icy crust.
