The planet Neptune was discovered in Capricornus by German astronomer Johann Galle, near Deneb Algedi ( δ Capricorni ) on September 23, 1846, which is appropriate as Capricornus can be seen best from Europe at 4: 00am in September.

Two other satellites made observations at the time of the impact: the Ulysses spacecraft, primarily designed for solar observations, was pointed towards Jupiter from its location 2. 6 AU away, and the distant Voyager 2 probe, some 44 AU from Jupiter and on its way out of the Solar System following its encounter with Neptune in 1989, was programmed to look for radio emission in the 1 – 390 kHz range.

This was several months short of the discovery of Neptune in the fall of that year, by his colleagues at Berlin Observatory.

Following the discovery of the planet Neptune in 1846, there was considerable speculation that another planet might exist beyond its orbit.

When Pluto was discovered 19 years later, its mean distance of 39. 48 AU and orbital period of 248 Earth years were close to Ketakar's prediction ( Pluto in fact has a 2: 3 resonance with Neptune ).

( Uranus and Neptune were also Greek and Roman gods, but neither planet was known in Antiquity because of their low brightness.

Voyager 2, then en route to Neptune, was able to observe the supernova with its cameras.

One of the last games released for the 32X in North America was Spider-Man: Web of Fire ( 1996 ), and one of the last ever was Darxide, released only in Europe, which had been intended by Frontier Developments to be a launch title for the ill-fated Neptune.

The Sega Neptune was a two-in-one Mega Drive / Genesis and 32X console which Sega planned to release in 1994 or 1995.

Sega felt that the console could have replaced the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis, but consumers would not be interested in the Sega Neptune, so the project was scrapped.

For a long time, no one searched for other TNOs as it was generally believed that Pluto was the only major object beyond Neptune.

In 1909, Thomas Jefferson Jackson See, an astronomer with a reputation as an egocentric contrarian, opined " that there is certainly one, most likely two and possibly three planets beyond Neptune ".

This sort of colony would be especially suitable for Saturn, Uranus and Neptune for which the gravitational attraction at the altitude of the visible atmosphere is near one Earth gravity.

Discrepancies in the early 1900s between the observed and expected orbits of Uranus and Neptune suggested that there were one or more additional planets beyond Neptune.

Triton is in synchronous rotation with Neptune ; it keeps one face oriented toward the planet at all times.

As Neptune orbits the Sun, Triton's polar regions take turns facing the Sun, resulting in seasonal changes as one pole, then the other, moves into the sunlight.

An early theory of how Triton may have been slowed was by collision with another object, either one that happened to be passing by Neptune ( which is unlikely ), or a moon or proto-moon in orbit around Neptune ( which is more likely ).

Its trajectory was designed to take advantage of an unusual alignment of the planets ( that occurs once every 177 years ) that allowed one space probe to fly by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, if everything went well.

The palace is built around two courtyards, one of which is dominated by a statue of Neptune.

In April 2008, a resource consent was granted to Neptune Power for the installation of a $ 10 million experimental underwater tidal stream turbine capable of producing one megawatt.

According to interpretatio romana, which sought the equivalence of Roman to Greek deities, she was an equivalent to Demeter, one of the Twelve Olympians of Greek religion and mythology ; this made Ceres one of Rome's twelve Di Consentes, daughter of Saturn and Ops, sister of Jupiter, mother of Proserpina by Jupiter and sister of Juno, Vesta, Neptune and Pluto.

* 1983 – Pioneer 10 becomes the first man-made object to leave the central Solar System when it passes beyond the orbit of Neptune ( the furthest planet from the Sun at the time ).

The first two, unlike scattered disc objects, have perihelia outside the gravitational reach of Neptune, and thus their orbits cannot be explained by perturbations from the gas giant planets.

* September 23 – Discovery of Neptune: The planet is observed for the first time by German astronomers Johann Gottfried Galle and Heinrich Louis d ' Arrest as predicted by the British astronomer John Couch Adams and the French astronomer Urbain Le Verrier.

* December 28 – Galileo Galilei becomes the first astronomer to observe the planet Neptune when in conjunction with Jupiter, yet he mistakenly catalogues it as a fixed star because of its extremely slow motion along the ecliptic.

Neptune is not truly discovered until 1846, about 234 years after Galileo first sights it with his telescope.

Balfour Gardiner It was hastily rehearsed ; the musicians of the Queen's Hall Orchestra first saw the complicated music only two hours before the performance, and the choir for " Neptune " was recruited from pupils from St Paul's Girls ' School ( where Holst taught ).
