Answer:

Triton is the largest of Neptune's 13 moons. It is unusual because it is the only large moon in our solar system that orbits in the opposite direction of its planet's rotation―a retrograde orbit. ... Like our own moon, Triton is locked in synchronous rotation with Neptune―one side faces the planet at all times.
