Extract from the 1999 BBC documentary 'The Planets' regarding Voyager 2 flyby of Neptune in 1989 (interestingly, according to the Hubble telescope, the Great Dark Spot no longer exists).

Neptune is more than 4 times wider than the Earth and even though it contains alot of ice, it is roughly a gas giant. Just because something orbits backwards, does not meen that it was not part of Neptune's system to begin with. Thanks for showing this video though.

whatever happened about talk with Planet X? I heard that it was the outer most planet in our solar system and Pluto might become a moon, caught in Planet X's gravitational pull

poor pluto.... :pIf I were Pluto I'd ask for an appeal to that decision.

Under ideal dark sky-gazing conditions, i.e. no light pollution or haze, I heard if you have really good eyesight it is possible to spot Uranus, because it is right on the edge of visible magnitude. Is this true, or is Saturn the furthest planet the human eye can detect? I definitely concede that Neptune is too far and too poorly illuminated by the sun to see.

Currently in Capricorn, Neptune is difficult to identify conclusively in a small telescope. Uranus is a very much easier target.

pluto isn't a real planet anymore, its a dwarf planet now. like a sub planet

that blueish color is caused by: helium, hydrogen and methane. Not nitrogen.

Uranus is nice but bland, Neptune had the cool Great Dark Spot in 1989.

Neptune rocks! But Uranus is still my favourite planet... XD
