1. Triton - The largest and most famous moon of Neptune, discovered by William Lassell in 1846.

2. Nereid - A large moon with a very eccentric orbit, discovered by Gerard Kuiper in 1949.

3. Naiad - A small moon close to Neptune, discovered by the Voyager 2 team in 1989.

4. Thalassa - Another small moon, also discovered by the Voyager 2 team in 1989.

5. Despina - A moon named after a character from Greek mythology, discovered by the Voyager 2 team.

6. Galatea - A moon named for a figure from Greek mythology, discovered by the Voyager 2 team.
