The 1989 Voyager 2 mission to Neptune confirmed the existence of the planet's faint ring system. The outermost ring, Adams, contains three prominent arcs named Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. In this 591-second Voyager 2 exposure, bright stars dot the cosmos around the rings. Photograph courtesy NASA
