This criticism was discussed in detail by Danjon (1946) [2] who illustrated with a diagram and discussion that while hypothetical orbits calculated by both Le Verrier and Adams for the new planet were indeed of very different size on the whole from that of the real Neptune (and actually similar to each other), they were both much closer to the ...
Despina's diameter is approximately 150 kilometres (93 mi). [4] Despina is irregularly shaped and shows no sign of any geological modification. It is likely that it is a rubble pile re-accreted from fragments of Neptune's original satellites, which were disrupted by perturbations from Triton soon after that moon's capture into a very eccentric initial orbit.
Kepler-11 is a G-type star [4] located in the constellation of Cygnus. It has a mass of 0.95 M sun and a radius of 1.1 R sun , and is thus almost the same mass and radius as the Sun. With an effective temperature of 5680 K , it is also almost as hot as the Sun, and with a metallicity of 0, Kepler-11 is almost as metal-rich as the Sun is.
At the time of discovery on 10 November 2018, 2018 VG 18 's distance from the Sun was 123.4 AU, and has since moved to 123.6 AU from the Sun as of 2024. [11] As it is approaching aphelion, 2018 VG 18 is receding from the Sun at a rate of 0.06 AU per year, or 0.3 km/s (670 mph).
Hippocamp, also designated Neptune XIV, is a small moon of Neptune discovered on 1 July 2013. It was found by astronomer Mark Showalter by analyzing archived Neptune photographs the Hubble Space Telescope captured between 2004 and 2009. The moon is so dim that it was not observed when the Voyager 2 space probe flew by
