Larissa [LA-ree-suh] is only about 48,800 kilometers (30,300 miles) from Neptune's clouds, and circles the planet in 13 hours, 18 minutes. Its diameter is about 190 kilometers (120 miles). It is irregularly shaped and shows no sign of any geological modification. Larissa circles the planet in the same direction as Neptune rotates, and remains close to Neptune's equatorial plane.

Shaded Relief Map of Larissa
This image is a shaded relief map of Larissa, a small inner satellite
of Neptune. As with all maps, it is the cartographer's interpretation
and not all features are necessarily certain given the limited data
available. This interpretation stretches the data as far as is feasible.
The leading side faces forwards in the orbit of Larissa. The trailing side
faces backwards along the orbit. Longitude 0 is at the
righthand end of the leading side, and faces Neptune. As with all
conformal (true shape) projections, the scale in these maps varies,
increasing from the centre to the outer edge.
