It still amazes me how a planet so unfathomably far away from the sun can yet still be influenced by the sun. It also amazes that in spite of the absolute frigid temperatures that if you were to stand on Neptune, the wind would shear the meat right off your bones, then whatever was left of you would fall into the mantle of Neptune and rain down as diamonds. As nice as the inner rocky planets are, the true jewels of our solar system are the gas giants, and Neptune stands alone as its own beauty and extremes. I also dread to think of the mathematical models that predicted Neptune's presence to such an accurate degree.
"It still amazes me how a planet so unfathomably far away from the sun can yet still be influenced by the sun." yeah, imagine the effects it has on a smaller rocky planetary body much *MUCH* closer +cough+
Even planet has a influence on others planets and the life in them just like the moon does it on human body. Science has to consider that in order to fully solve the mysteries of universe.
The heliosphere, roughly the sphere of the sun's influence (not including gravity) extends 123AU out. Pluto is 39 AU out, so the sun has influence is between 5x the distance away Pluto orbits.
China currently has a proposed orbiter for launch 2030 with a 2040 arrival. I haven't seen any updates for the last two years so I don't know if it is going ahead. But there is hope yet.
@@Jabjabs As far as I'm aware, it's not happening. It's simply too late for a probe as early in development as it would have to be to be ready. They are planning a Jupiter orbiter (Tianwen-3) which is intended to launch in 2028 and will reach there in the mid-2030s. This might include a smaller craft which will use Jupiter's gravity to attempt a flyby. Also, I highly doubt that they were ever seriously considering an orbiter (as opposed to a flyby). To get there in a useful timeframe requires a tremendous amount of speed and then the problem becomes slowing down enough to get captured by the planet's orbit. When NASA was doing studies for missions to the two "Ice Giants" they concluded that aerocapture (not to be confused with aerobraking, which is easier, but more fuel-intensive) might be necessary to arrive with a useful payload.
There's a once-in-about-13-year opportunity to get a gravity assist from Jupiter to Neptune. The last chance to launch a Neptune mission using to nearest alignment would be in 2031 - but it would require a very large (i.e. expensive or unproven) rocket, even with a small payload. I was recently looking through a proposal that involved multiple Inner Solar System flybys to pick up speed before reaching Jupiter, but that particular mission would have required a launch in 2026 - two years is not enough time to design, develop and build a space probe. Fortunately, NASA has - as it's highest priority for a large mission after Mars Sample Return - a Uranus orbiter. We will have another shot at Neptune after that mission launches and it would be nice to study both reasonably close together.
I'd love to see every planet get a dedicated orbiter. I'm surprised us in the USA didn't throw a dedicated probe to every planet during the great space boom. With SpaceX and other private companies making rockets available to the masses, I think it's only a matter of time before we see a Starship launch with an orbiter bound for Neptune
One thing that many might want to know about Neptune, which wasn't mentioned in the video, is the fact that apparently, it isn't as blue as it is in most photographs. When it was photographed, the pictures of Neptune were composites and never accurately reflected its true appearance. Its saturation was greatly enhanced so that more detail in its surface could be seen. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, everyone, including the science community forgot that this was done, or weren't properly informed, and now everyone really thinks its blue, but actually, it's a near identical shade of pale teal as that of Uranus. I'm not 100% sure if this really is true, I just heard about it fairly recently. So... grain of salt. Even if it isn't blue, Neptune is still my favorite planet!
You are correct. Neptune is roughly the same color as Uranus, it was over saturated to show the cloud details better, and somewhere along the way this was poorly communicated. It should be noted however, if you do actually resolve Neptune with a telescope from Earth, the tiny little dot it will appear as will actually appear to be a darker blue than Uranus through a telescope, Uranus appears as a pale green dot instead- So I think this misconception was bolstered due to that.
Yeah it is my favourite because it's color was wrongly attributed. I am a champion of colour rights of far away planets. And I like to cuddle them to ward off their loneliness. Poor Neptune!
Same here. I’d like to think robotic probes are going to get increasingly cheaper & more capable, and that we’ll be able to send more to the outer solar system in the coming few decades…I’m hoping we’ll find something else for New Horizons to visit soon, too!
@@RAWDEAL064 most missions are colloborations with funding anyway. But the intial capital for a large network of space probes/telescopes is only something nasa has anywhere close to being able to fund intially. I think other space agencies arent necessarily deciding their budgets ;)
Commenting on Neptune was that Voyager 2 saw a "Great Dark Spot" in the mid-latitude atmosphere of Neptune in 1989 on it's flyby, which has not subsequently been seen to survive by Hubble images of Neptune. It is surmised that the Great Dark Spot was a anticyclone, similar to the Great Red Spot in Jupiter's atmosphere, but not as large, long lasting, or stable. There were more than one of these dark spots. It seems that Neptune's atmosphere, other than Jupiter, is the visually second most dynamic of the Solar System gas giants.
I'm telling you, the outer system is where it's at. Mysterious planets like Neptune and Pluto, the Keiper belt, TNOs, the Oort cloud, and the mysterious, or mythical, Planet Nine.
Agreed and Jupiter and Saturn are awesome planets as well (Saturn is my favorite planet Jupiter is second). I wonder if we’ll ever find planet 9 someday
@@aamirrazak3467 I think we'd need a serious constellation of space telescopes to catch it. And unfortunately I dont think theres the funding for it, but we have a way of coming up with genius ideas.
@@metallicamadsam As we discover more and more TNOs, I wonder if it would be possible to construct a sufficiently detailed gravitational model from all those TNOs to infer the exact orbital location of planet 9 gravitationally, not visually.
@@Transilvanian90 Theres a great video by PBS space time on this. Its equivalent to looking for a needle in a hay stack. Even if you judge its approx location, its composition, its actual oribit, size etc etc all need to measured directly. The issue will be if it does exist, and has a wacky orbit then finding it with conventional methods will require infinite resources so i think some maturation in the approach would happen. That said, this all requires money and innovation, and a good pinch of luck!
Changes are happening on all planets in our system. The common denominator is the sun. Can you guys please do a video on our magnetic field? It seems to be changing in a way it hasn't for about 6,000 and further 12,000 years. We're seeing auroras far south, from relatively small solar outbursts, so they shouldn't be seen so broadly. I'd like to see what the team finds out and thinks about it.
I mean they kinda already have. The video 'What the upcoming geomagnetic field reversal will do to Earth' talks about the magnetic field. Also there are a few other videos of theirs that mention the Earths magnetic field.
Neptune has always been my favorite planet, I've always been drawn to it from childhood. There's something alluring about the blueness of it, I can't explain it. I remember thinking all of my life (up until recently) that it was a water planet, thinking there must be all sorts of sea life on it and being devastated when I learned it's just another boring gas planet! It's still beautiful to look at, but hearing how cold it is and how fast the windspeed is, I know it's not compatible with human life.
You know what makes me feel old? I grew up learning in school that "My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas." Since Pluto was kicked of the list what the heck does mother serve us now? There's no pizzas to serve.
Hypothetical mystery planets. That's what we get served now. It's a bit like a wish sandwich (put two pieces of bread together and wish there was something between them), not very satisfying.
Gorgeous. It's incredible how much we've learned about this distant world with so few "in person" visits. I wonder what more we'll know in ten years' time!
Nice video. There is so much more to learn about Neptune and the other gas giants in our solar system. I always wondered if the planets in our solar system serve a purpose other then just being. It would be interesting to think about.
I was thinking that a series on all of the moons would be good🙏 ...maybe on a planet-by-planet basis, 'course Jupiter and Saturn would present a problem. I suppose those could be broken up into several parts...
@@poindextertunes But all planets are named after Roman gods, and a few asteroids. Btw, "Uranos" is greek, and it´s the only planet named after a Greek God. So the , hm, namespace gets crowded. And for a gas giant, it should be something important, not some hardly-known demigod. Plus, the planet is known under this name for several hundred years. What are our priorities, if we want to go through the hassle of renaming a planet just because some US-americans on the internet can´t get a pre-adolescent stupid joke out of their dirty minds? Because that´s where the "joke" resides. Uranus doesn´t have a name tag stitched in. Is it really worth the trouble, because some people imagine they are offended, or don´t have their marbles under control? As if degrading Pluto wasn´t enough turmoil. I could live with "Kronos", though . Or "Hera". But then again it would be lacking respect for William Herschel, who originally named it. And trolled us. maybe. Anyway, why? Really? Would there be more videos about it? You sure? Maybe that´s because we just don´t really know that much about it?
Been waiting on this one. Neptune is Fascinating! Definitely learned more about Neptune in this video. I would be interested in more information about the cores of all the planets in the solar system and their magnetic fields. I always thought Neptune and Uranus cores were solid the way they had that stationary angle compared to the axis of the planet. Thanks Alex and Astrum.👍
Sitting under an MTP pancho under the night sky. How many times have I done this? Hundreds, thousands, so many memories of serving in the army, in many different countries. With people, some of whom are not with us anymore.
I do remember how I discovered your Chanel years ago researching for cloud formation on earth, never quite learning, as rational and support documentary are not easy to find on UA-cam.
My favourite planet. I was hoping for a 45 minute video like the Mercury one but I didn't think it's possible given the lack of information on it compared to Mercury.
Interesting note on Neptune: you talked about how Neptune's relatively small amount of methane is what gives it the shade of blue, just like Uranus, although Neptune (obviously) has a darker shade of blue. However, if I recall correctly, as it turns out, Neptune is actually not that dark. In fact, I'm pretty certain that from what I've read, that when the Voyager 2 images were released to the public, there was an internal note about how the "dark blue" images were color-enhanced, kinda like how Pluto isn't really red, but brown. However, for one reason or another, this was either forgotten or not paid attention to, and any images that are taken of Neptune now that AREN'T dark blue are instead edited to look more dark blue because, well, that's how it's SUPPOSED to look, right? I'm definitely missing a few details, but from what I've heard, Neptune basically looks almost exactly like its neighbor, Uranus, and that the dark blue images were a mixup of color-enhancement and real-color images or something. Again, I'm missing some bits and pieces of info, but I only heard about this recently, so take what I'm saying with a small piece of salt.
@@psf95 University of Oxford, they re-processed the Voyager 2 images to be true colour based on the reflected light spectra and it's essentially the same shade of greenish blue as Uranus (although maybe a tiny bit darker and saturated). The original dark blue images were noted internally to be enhanced colour although eventually it stopped being described as that whenever it was used. This same study also explained why Uranus changes colour throughout its year in detail
Every time I think of Neptune, it reminds me of my great aunt Alicia, or "Aunt Liddy," who used to call me her "Little Neptune" every time we spoke or I came to visit. I really miss her.
5:06 Actually, the small dark spot on Neptune was actually called, The Wizard's Eye since it well resembles the eye of a wizard or resembling the evil fire eye from The Lord of The Rings. It's best to call to it, The Wizard's Eye
I always found Neptune and Uranus so interesting. I can’t imagine what it would be like to fly through the rings of both planets and see the orbits of moons and other satellites Hopefully one day someone will be able to experience that
I think it every video, you have the most amazing voice for broad programming ever (especially space related content). You should really pursue a career in broadcasting of some sort. English futbol seems like the broadest and most tappable market if you did some hw lol
I love all the information on the Planet, especially the Ice and Gas Giants. The Ice Giants are so mysterious in their distance from Earth and the Sun... And I love that they have rings! I do wish we could ahve observed the death of the Great Dark Spot, and that we might obsrrve a new one being born. I am certain that being able to watch a ne Dark Spot's borth would be very exciting for AStrophyisists and myself of course; likely Alex too.
i had a dream that i fell into Neptune and the surface was a vase surface of white ice and I broke through it to a dark bottomless ocean ...I can never forget that feeling
Okay, I haven’t checked yet, but where did you get those photos for the planetary rings? I absolutely love them. They just look so good. Real nice. Old science like.
You forgot Saturn’s tilt too. Saturn’s tilt is similar to that of Mars, Earth, and Neptune by about 27 degrees. Meaning that the other planets that don’t follow this tilt are: Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, and Uranus.
I really like your videos. I learned interesting things on Neptune and I`d live to Imagine how Living on Tritons ground would look like. As its rocky surface so far out, hardly no sunlight etc.
Saturn is my favorite but Neptune IS very interesting. That deep color, totally solid is so mysterious. I'd be okay with sending a probe or a GO-Pro headcam to check out the place.
I really want to see a dwarf planet series like vesta,make make,eris haumua and pluto most people dont know much about these dwarf planets so it would be really helpful i really look forward to it😊
The more I learn about the far planets the more discussion I'd like to see about the Birkeland Current. It would seem to me that Neptune's cloud behaviour would be explained by this interaction.
next planet you should do is Pluto ;) Also, a topic i always found interesting is, what if Earth had more than one moon, how would that work and what would be the effect on us, lets say Triton was our 2nd moon ?
I saw a video which claimed that deep inside the atmosphere of Neptune, far from being icy the temperature is hotter than on Earth and hotter than on Uranus. It has long been known that Neptune has an internal heat source.

However, for one reason or another, this was either forgotten or not paid attention to, and any images that are taken of Neptune now that AREN'T dark blue are instead edited to look more dark blue because, well, that's how it's SUPPOSED to look, right?
I'm definitely missing a few details, but from what I've heard, Neptune basically looks almost exactly like its neighbor, Uranus, and that the dark blue images were a mixup of color-enhancement and real-color images or something. Again, I'm missing some bits and pieces of info, but I only heard about this recently, so take what I'm saying with a small piece of salt.
Neptune looks pretty dark blue through my telescope though. It might be barely a dot, but you can clearly see how blue it is from here
It might have to do with the fact neptune is almost twice as far as ur anus
@@ignacymoscickifilms670interesting as they updated the official colour and it’s not blue but a pearl colour
@@frasercook5823 who's "they"?
@@psf95 University of Oxford, they re-processed the Voyager 2 images to be true colour based on the reflected light spectra and it's essentially the same shade of greenish blue as Uranus (although maybe a tiny bit darker and saturated). The original dark blue images were noted internally to be enhanced colour although eventually it stopped being described as that whenever it was used.
This same study also explained why Uranus changes colour throughout its year in detail
Every time I think of Neptune, it reminds me of my great aunt Alicia, or "Aunt Liddy," who used to call me her "Little Neptune" every time we spoke or I came to visit.
I really miss her.
Great documentary!
Amazing video, as always
new suscriber here. I love ur content, thank u so much :3
Was on an aircraft carrier between Iceland and the Faroe islands with no lights on, so clear you could see satellites, unbelievably beautiful
5:06 Actually, the small dark spot on Neptune was actually called, The Wizard's Eye since it well resembles the eye of a wizard or resembling the evil fire eye from The Lord of The Rings. It's best to call to it, The Wizard's Eye
I always found Neptune and Uranus so interesting. I can’t imagine what it would be like to fly through the rings of both planets and see the orbits of moons and other satellites
Hopefully one day someone will be able to experience that
Neptune is my favourite planet. Absolutely beautiful
I find that neptune is the scariest planet
SOOOOOOO AMAZING!!!!!!!!
Learning so much~ Thank you!!!
I think it every video, you have the most amazing voice for broad programming ever (especially space related content). You should really pursue a career in broadcasting of some sort. English futbol seems like the broadest and most tappable market if you did some hw lol
I think its easy to say that Triton could very well be a captured Kuiper belt object. It looks awfully like Pluto and maybe that's not a coincidence.
It seems a near certainty.
I love all the information on the Planet, especially the Ice and Gas Giants. The Ice Giants are so mysterious in their distance from Earth and the Sun... And I love that they have rings! I do wish we could ahve observed the death of the Great Dark Spot, and that we might obsrrve a new one being born. I am certain that being able to watch a ne Dark Spot's borth would be very exciting for AStrophyisists and myself of course; likely Alex too.
Not sure if you’ve done it already but a video on Ceres would be dope!
There is so many wonders and mysterious things they probably seen on these trips that we will never know
2:23 Another great video...
Great pics, too!!
🙂
i had a dream that i fell into Neptune and the surface was a vase surface of white ice and I broke through it to a dark bottomless ocean ...I can never forget that feeling
Pluto is a damn planet! I went to Lowell Observatory and saw how it was discovered. Bring Pluto back!
Okay, I haven’t checked yet, but where did you get those photos for the planetary rings? I absolutely love them. They just look so good. Real nice. Old science like.
Good stuff,thank you.
Neptune is pretty cool and it’s amazing how fast the winds on the planet move
You forgot Saturn’s tilt too. Saturn’s tilt is similar to that of Mars, Earth, and Neptune by about 27 degrees. Meaning that the other planets that don’t follow this tilt are: Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, and Uranus.
Ground News should cover youtube channels as well. Like this one.
Neptune is bad ass. Coolest planet.
I really like your videos.
I learned interesting things on Neptune and I`d live to Imagine how Living on Tritons ground would look like. As its rocky surface so far out, hardly no sunlight etc.
Tnx. Didn't know Neptune was so complicated
@7:27 Wouldn't the diamond bergs sink, rather than float?
Saturn is my favorite but Neptune IS very interesting. That deep color, totally solid is so mysterious. I'd be okay with sending a probe or a GO-Pro headcam to check out the place.
What they don't teach you in highschool about neptune:
Absolutely anything
To my dismay as an astro major
Excellent use of the scientific term "ginormous"!
Yoo, that's awesome
I really want to see a dwarf planet series like vesta,make make,eris haumua and pluto most people dont know much about these dwarf planets so it would be really helpful i really look forward to it😊
The more I learn about the far planets the more discussion I'd like to see about the Birkeland Current. It would seem to me that Neptune's cloud behaviour would be explained by this interaction.
Would love to see the comparisons & differences between the moons Europa, Enceladus, and Triton.
Do Callisto next please.
7:52 Iberian peninsula
next planet you should do is Pluto ;)
Also, a topic i always found interesting is, what if Earth had more than one moon, how would that work and what would be the effect on us, lets say Triton was our 2nd moon ?
I love neptune. Sad that its not the dark blue we thought but oh well
I saw a video which claimed that deep inside the atmosphere of Neptune, far from being icy the temperature is hotter than on Earth and hotter than on Uranus. It has long been known that Neptune has an internal heat source.
Great work.
would love to watch a video on uranus next!!
You should do Uranus next. Yes the planet is interesting... but the comments are always gold.
😂
Pluto will always be a planet.
then why not it's nearly equal sized moon
