Also seen in Neptune's upper atmosphere was an almond-shaped spot designated D2 and a bright, quickly moving cloud high above the cloud decks dubbed "Scooter". [4] [8] Voyager 2 image of Proteus. The fly-by of the Neptunian system provided the first accurate measurement of Neptune's mass, which was found to be 0.5 percent less than previously ...
The Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a small X-ray telescope satellite for studying the explosions of massive stars by analyzing the resulting gamma-ray bursts, developed by China National Space Administration (CNSA), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the French Space Agency , [5] launched on 22 June 2024 (07:00:00 UTC).
Telescope data may have helped researchers figure out why. Four years ago, astronomers noticed the abundant clouds on Neptune had largely disappeared. Telescope data may have helped researchers ...
Launched uncrewed but landed with Soyuz MS-22 crew. Their spacecraft was deemed unfit for landing and thus was returned uncrewed and Soyuz MS-23 launched as its replacement. The cause was a 0.8 mm-diameter (0.031 in) hole punctured in the radiator of Soyuz MS-22 due to micro-meteorite impact. All coolant in the radiator leaked out. [14]

S/2021 N 1 is the smallest, faintest, and most distant natural satellite of Neptune known, with a diameter of around 16–25 km (10–16 mi). It was discovered on 7 September 2021 by Scott S. Sheppard, David J. Tholen, Chad Trujillo, and Patryk S. Lykawka using the 8.2-meter Subaru Telescope at Mauna Kea, Hawaii, and later announced on 23 February 2024. [1]
