Neptune's atmosphere is faintly blue in the optical spectrum, only slightly more saturated than the blue of Uranus's atmosphere. Early renderings of the two planets greatly exaggerated Neptune's colour contrast "to better reveal the clouds, bands and winds", making it seem deep blue compared to Uranus's off-white.
In 1989, GDS-89 was the first Great Dark Spot on Neptune to be observed by NASA's Voyager 2 space probe. Like Jupiter's spot, the Great Dark Spots are anticyclonic storms . However, their interiors are relatively cloud-free, and unlike Jupiter's spot , which has lasted for hundreds of years, their lifetimes appear to be shorter, forming and ...
The observatory's views, released Wednesday, include rare looks at Neptune's rings, providing some of the sharpest images of these ghostly features seen in more than 30 years, according to NASA ...
[example needed] The data from Voyager 2 are still the best data available on this planet in most cases. [citation needed] The exploration mission revealed that Neptune's atmosphere is very dynamic, even though it receives only three percent of the sunlight that Jupiter receives. Winds on Neptune were found to be the strongest in the Solar ...
Yahoo Finance's Akiko Fujita discusses the latest images coming from NASA's James Webb space telescope that capture Neptune's rings.
Neptune has long been known to have white clouds circling it, but images of the furthest planet in the solar system have shown this changing over time - the most recent image, taken by the Hubble ...
The movie is composed of natural- and enhanced-color views of Neptune that were assembled from images taken in 14 different colored filters, which allow atmospheric features to be seen above Neptune's methane haze. Neptune is shown in natural color with its largest satellite, Triton, as it orbits the planet. Triton orbits in a "backwards" or ...
Being in the Neptunian desert, LTT 9779 b is a very rare class of planet, with few like it being known. It is estimated that only 1 in 200 Sun-like stars possess a planet with an orbital period of less than a day, [ 2 ] and most of those are Hot Jupiters or rocky planets , with ultra-hot Neptune planets being rare.
