About

Neptune

Big and blue

With an Earth-sized storm

Ideal to gaze at from its moon Triton, where icy geysers will burst at any time

Neptune

Taking its name from the Roman god of the sea, Neptune is a beautiful blue world that you cannot miss visiting.

Sunlight needs 4 hours to travel to Neptune, and this ice giant is very dense. It is the windiest world in our neighborhood.

Since it does not have a solid surface, there is nowhere you can land on, but Neptune still makes an interesting place to visit.

Attractions

The Great Dark Spot

Reminiscent of Jupiter's Great Red Spot, Neptune has its own giant storm, called the Great Dark Spot, that makes the most interesting sight.
