Neptune's Kingdom was a concept for a lakeside, aquatic show park.

As pollywogs, they participated in the time-honored naval tradition of the Line-crossing ceremony and were initiated into the royal Kingdom of King Neptune's realm and became crusty shellbacks when the armored cruiser crossed the equator at, on 10 June.

This accelerated plans to transform the facility into a major attraction, Neptune's Kingdom, an adventure center.

To the west the sea leads to Neptune's Kingdom, a tranquil watery world filled with fish, sharks, mermaids, and giant seahorses.

* Mermaid: This character helps Graham enter Neptune's Kingdom after he showed kindness to her through giving her a bouquet of flowers.

* Shark: Seen briefly swimming in Neptune's Kingdom, it attends Graham's wedding.

* 1979 – Pluto moves inside Neptune's orbit for the first time since either was discovered.

The gradual depletion of the Kuiper belt would have decreased the precession rate of Neptune's orbit ; eventually, the frequencies matched, and Saturn's axial precession was captured into the spin-orbit resonance, leading to an increase in Saturn's obliquity.

The search was largely abandoned in the early 1990s, when a study of measurements made by the Voyager 2 spacecraft found that the irregularities observed in Uranus's orbit were due to a slight overestimation of Neptune's mass.

Even before Neptune's discovery, some speculated that one planet alone was not enough to explain the discrepancy.

In 1848, Jacques Babinet raised an objection to Le Verrier's calculations, claiming that Neptune's observed mass was smaller and its orbit larger than Le Verrier had initially predicted.

However, Pluto was too small to explain the discrepancies, and revised estimates of Neptune's mass showed that the problem was spurious.

** Pluto moves inside Neptune's orbit for the first time since either was known to science.

It was found to have a retrograde orbit, at a very high angle of inclination to the plane of Neptune's orbit.

Eris was first imaged in 2003, and is the largest object discovered in the Solar System since Neptune's moon Triton in 1846.

The NGA was credited by White House and military officials with providing critical information in support of Operation Neptune's Spear on May 2, 2011, in which the United States Military raided a secret compound housing Osama Bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan, at which time he was killed in action.

The Neptune's cargo consisted of fabrics and provisions and was attacked while it was docked in Jobos Port, located in the vicinity of Fajardo, Puerto Rico.

heard from sources in Haïti that Neptune's home was burned and looted and that he was being pursued by armed gangs.

This may be because Triton was captured well after the formation of Neptune's original satellite system, much of which would have been destroyed in the process of capture.

His last book was Sternentau: die Pflanze vom Neptunsmond (" Star Dew: the Plant of Neptune's Moon ", 1909 ).

Her 1949 film Neptune's Daughter was screened at the pool of the Roosevelt Hotel, along with a performance of the Williams-inspired synchronized swimming troupe, The Waterlilies.

The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song for Burl Ives's version of the 17th-century English folk song " Lavender Blue ," but lost to " Baby, It's Cold Outside " from Neptune's Daughter.

Graham befriended a mermaid and was given a ride to King Neptune's realm.

While there Graham returned Neptune's lost trident, and was given the first key to the magic doors, as well as a bottle with a cloth inside.

Its main mission was to study Neptune's atmosphere and weather, its ring system, and its moons, particularly Triton.

Models of their interior begin with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere that extends from the cloud-tops down to about 85 % of Neptune's radius and 80 % of Uranus's.

Short-period comets ( those with orbits of up to 200 years ) are generally accepted to have emerged from the Kuiper belt or scattered disc, two linked flat discs of icy debris beyond Neptune's orbit at 30 AU and jointly extending out beyond 100 AU from the Sun.

The orbital periods of plutinos cluster around 247. 3 years ( 1. 5 × Neptune's orbital period ), varying by at most a few years from this value.

That inclination is currently 130 °; Triton's orbit is now near its maximum departure from coplanarity with Neptune's.

At the present time, Triton's rotational axis is about 40 ° from Neptune's orbital plane, and hence at some point during Neptune's year each pole points fairly close to the Sun, almost like the poles of Uranus.

Tidal interactions also cause Triton's orbit, already closer to Neptune than the Moon's to Earth, to slowly decay further ; predictions are that some 3. 6 billion years from now, Triton will pass within Neptune's Roche limit.

The temperature of Triton's upper atmosphere, at, is higher than that at the surface, due to heat absorbed from solar radiation and Neptune's magnetosphere.

Neptune's Grotto is the most famous and visited, thanks to the accessibility and connection by ferries and stepped path from land.

Conversely the Jupiter-family comets are believed to originate in the Kuiper belt, a flat disc of icy debris between 30 AU ( Neptune's orbit ) and 50 AU from the Sun ( in the scattered disc ).

To observe Triton ( moon ) | Triton, Voyager 2 passed over Neptune's north pole resulting in an acceleration out of the plane of the ecliptic and reduced velocity away from the sun.

*" Baby, It's Cold Outside " from the M-G-M picture " Neptune's Daughter " ( 1949 ).

5145 Pholus ( ; from ) is a centaur in an eccentric orbit, with a perihelion less than Saturn's and aphelion greater than Neptune's.

For most of its orbit it is even farther from the Sun than at present, with its aphelion estimated at 960 astronomical units ( 32 times Neptune's distance ), making it one of the most distant known objects in the Solar System other than long-period comets.

Other moons of Neptune are also named for Greek and Roman water gods, in keeping with Neptune's position as god of the sea: either from Greek mythology, usually children of Poseidon, the Greek Neptune ( Triton, Proteus, Despina, Thalassa ); classes of minor Greek water deity ( Naiad, Nereid ); or specific Nereids ( Halimede, Galatea, Neso, Sao, Laomedeia, Psamathe ).

All of Neptune's inner moons are dark objects: their geometrical albedo ranges from 7 to 10 %.

In the novel's future solar system, Neptune's moon Triton supports one of several human societies independent from Earth, which has developed along radically libertarian lines in some ways: though a representative government exists, it has virtually no power to regulate private behavior, and citizens may choose to live in an area where no laws apply at all.

Heat energy, from gravitational collapse, impacts, tidal forces, or radioactive decay, also factors into whether an object will be spherical or not ; Saturn's icy moon Mimas is spheroidal, but Neptune's larger moon Proteus, which is similarly composed but colder because of its greater distance from the Sun, is irregular.

Since Voyager's fly-by, the brightest rings ( Adams and Le Verrier ) have been imaged with the Hubble Space Telescope and Earth-based telescopes, owing to advances in resolution and light-gathering power in Neptune's rings are made from a dark material ; probably a mixture of ice with radiation-processed organics.

Also, like those of Uranus, Neptune's rings probably resulted from the collisional fragmentation of onetime inner moons.

Likewise, the anomaly does not appear in the orbits of Neptune's moons, challenging the possibility that the Pioneer anomaly may be an unconventional gravitational phenomenon based on range from the Sun.
