Neptune Rings

In Neptune outermost ring, 39,000 miles out, material mysteriously clumps into three arcs. Voyager 2 acquired this image as it encountered Neptune in August of 1989.

USN P-8 Neptune departs Travis AFB April 2026. This one is interesting. The BuNo number is 166431, YB which is VP-8 "Fighting Tigers" NAS Jacksonville and its stenciled for NAV AIR which is also PMA-290 #TravisAFB #cvvhrn #aviation #AvGeek #photography #P8 #neptune #NAVAIR

An ancient moonpocalypse may explain #Neptune’s odd #moon #Nereid
The strange satellite was born in a steady, circular orbit around Neptune, then tossed into its elongated orbit during a chaotic encounter with a #Pluto-sized body that ejected or pulverized all its sibling #moons. This idea counters assumption that Nereid formed in #KuiperBelt, the cold reservoir of #space rocks in outer #solarsystem, and was pitched into its present orbit later.

#Uranus and #Neptune should be more than 60% rock. For decades, elementary students learned the same tale of the #SolarSystem: first come rocky terrestrial planets such as #Earth, followed by gas giants such as #Jupiter and #ice giants such as Neptune. “We really don’t know what these #planets 🪐 are made of.” https://www.science.org/content/article/uranus-and-neptune-may-not-be-ice-giants-after-all

Neptune Clouds Showing Vertical Relief

NASA's Voyager 2 high resolution color image, taken 2 hours before closest approach, provides obvious evidence of vertical relief in Neptune's bright cloud streaks. These clouds were observed at a latitude of 29 degrees north near Neptune's east terminator. The linear cloud forms are stretched approximately along lines of constant...
