The best measurement of Nereid's diameter comes from images taken by Voyager 2 in its August 1989 flyby of Neptune: 170 kilometers, plus or minus 25 (106 +/- 16 miles). The rather poor precision stems from Nereid being distant from Voyager's trajectory at the time of the flyby, so in the images Nereid is only a few pixels across. Dr. Thomas R.
