Neptune - The Ice Giant With Supersonic Winds We Must Explore Again

Neptune is the most distant planet in our solar system — and one of the most mysterious. In this deep dive, we explore the incredible atmospheric dynamics of this ice giant, from supersonic winds exceeding 1,200 mph to the enigmatic internal heat source that drives them. Discover how methane gives Neptune its stunning blue hue, marvel at the James Webb Space Telescope's breathtaking new images of its faint ring system, and learn about Triton — a captured Kuiper Belt object that may harbor secrets beneath its frozen surface.

We also look ahead to the proposed Neptune Odyssey mission, a conceptual orbiter and atmospheric probe that could finally answer questions left unanswered since Voyager 2's historic flyby in 1989. Why should we return to Neptune? What could we learn about planetary formation, ice giant interiors, and the outer solar system? Find out here.
