Hippocamp's tail
Hippocamp is a tiny Neptunian moon (of about 34 kilometres across) unusually close to a much larger Neptunian moon called Proteus. Scientists think Hippocamp is likely a chipped-off piece of the larger moon that resulted from a collision with a comet billions of years ago.
Roman God Neptune is often depicted driving a sea-chariot drawn by hippocampi; these are creatures from Greek mythology that have the upper body of a horse and the lower body of a fish.
* This specimen was captured in an expedition to Bali.
