What makes Triton the most unusual moon in the solar system?

Triton is the most unusual moon in the solar system because it orbits Neptune in a retrograde direction opposite to the planet's rotation, suggesting it may be a captured object. It has a thin atmosphere with active geysers that spew nitrogen gas and dark streaks on its icy surface, indicating ongoing geological activity. Triton's surface features include a mix of icy plains, ridges, valleys, and impact craters, creating a diverse and dynamic landscape unlike any other moon.
