We journey to the solar system's outermost planet, where winds scream at 1,500 mph and a captured moon erupts nitrogen geysers into the void.
Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander guides us through the mysteries of Neptune and its fascinating system of moons, revealing why this distant blue world demands further exploration.
•Discover how Neptune's atmosphere contains the fastest winds in the solar system—reaching incredible speeds of 1,500 mph—and generates massive storm systems like the Great Dark Spot observed by Voyager 2.
•Explore Triton, Neptune's largest moon, which orbits backwards around the planet and features active nitrogen geysers erupting from its icy surface, suggesting a complex geological history.
•Learn about Neptune's 14 known moons, including the irregularly-shaped Proteus and smaller moons like Nereid and Larissa, each telling a unique story about the Neptunian system's formation.
•Understand why this distant ice giant remains one of the least explored planets and how future missions could revolutionize our understanding of the outer solar system's dynamics and evolution.
