Why is everyone all of a sudden saying that Neptune is not blue... but a greenish-grey? I've seen Neptune with my own eyes through my own telescope. It's blue. And Uranus is a sort of aqua-green. Neptune certainly is blue.

[@x13xmonkey]

Nobody is going to live long enough , so no worries.

[@interestinggameraltlol9245]

NASA’s voyager telescope had an exaggerated color camera, so storms on the planet would be visible. In reality, its color is actually similar to Uranus. Plus, aren’t you pretty far from Neptune? The color would of course be different than from Low Neptune Orbit…

[@nasis18]

[@GladDestronger]

We could make something like Juno, Galileo, and Cassini. An orbiter. Thought it still take a while to get there (Cassini/New Horizons took years before they reached Saturn/Pluto) ... and then there's the funding. Dunno if NASA would want to invest in that kind of mission these days.

The hexagonal shape could likely be explained by fluid dynamics. I only had one year of high school physics, so I can't offer a further explanation.

[@edwardrichardson8254]

The money shot was the flyby of its largest moon Triton and the images of ice volcanoes erupting plumes of material five miles into the sky and leaving dark streaks on the surface as it fell back to the moon. It's a big moon, comprising 99.5% of all the matter around Neptune, rings, moons and all, it's near our moon in terms of size. Exciting place, they got great shots of it. I had to do a double-take when you said it arrived there in '89, it seemed much earlier to me, but nope, you're right - when it got there the Eighties were over and Nirvana was about to be a thing. Amazing. Shows the focus we put on Mars and the ISS. ISS was famously hated by Sagan, who said it was not space exploration but "growing tomatoes in orbit." It has consumed over $100 billion just to build and it's about 15% of NASA's annual budget. What was the most famous ISS mission for you? The silence puts that commitment into perspective doesn't it? Anyhoo it was cool to visit Neptune in "Ad Astra." Great scenes.

[@Parasmunt]

The winds there are up to 1000 km/hr. They still don't understand how the planet gets the energy to produce these winds as the sun is so far away (heat differences is the usual source of wind activity).

[@bryanmiller476]

Yeah but that’s based on winds made of oxygen and nitrogen here on earth and how dense the atmosphere is Where as a planet with different gases and different thickness of atmosphere will have much faster speeds of its winds
