Neptune is the eighth and farthest planet from the Sun, an ice giant of pale greenish blue, a little bluer than Uranus; the deep blue of older spacecraft pictures came from processing.

About it
Neptune is the eighth and farthest planet from the Sun, an ice giant of pale greenish blue, a little bluer than Uranus; the deep blue of older spacecraft pictures came from processing. It has the strongest winds in the solar system, faster than 2,000 kilometers an hour. It was the first planet found by math: astronomers worked out where it must be before they saw it in 1846.
Tap it and belts of white cloud race around it twice while a band with a dark storm drifts the other way. The spacecraft Voyager 2 saw a great dark storm like this when it flew past in 1989. Neptune takes about 165 years to go around the Sun once.
