Neptune is the 8th planet from the Sun. It is quite similar to Uranus, except that it isn't tilted. Neptune is an ice giant, meaning that Neptune does not have a landable surface. Neptune also has two moons, that being Triton and Proteus.
Appearance[]
Neptune has a blue appearance, with streaks of white and grey across its surface. There is a darker spot, the Great Dark Spot, which is a giant storm that in real life is as big as Earth. It is surrounded by rings.
Proteus[]
"In more shapes than a sphere"
Proteus is Neptune's closest moon, and also the only moon (excluding Phobos and Deimos) to not be in hydrostatic equilibrium. Its surface is bumpy and consists mainly of sandstone.
Triton[]
"Jollier than Jupiter"
Triton is Neptune's first moon that was added, consisting of icy patches and some slate material. It is large and hosts a log cabin and has cryovolcanoes.
Trivia[]
- Neptune's quote is a reference to the origin of the planet's name. In Roman mythology, Neptune was the god of the sea.
- Triton is the only moon in the Neptunian system that is in hydrostatic equilibrium (the moon has enough gravity to pull itself into a sphere), and the only object with gravity that has such properties in game.
