The images of Neptune were taken by Hubble's Wide Angle Camera #3 on June 25-26 during the planet's 16-hour orbit around its axis. The images were taken at intervals of about four hours so that they allow a full view of the planet. The images show clouds in the high latitudes of both the northern and southern hemispheres. The clouds are mainly composed of methane ice crystals.
