Neptune
Neptune is the Roman god of the sea and the smallest and the
furthest gas giant in our solar system.
It is 2.8 billion miles from the Sun.
If you ever wanted to go out for a visit it would take about 12 years to
get there. It takes about 165 Earth
years to go around the Sun once. One day
is about 16 Earth hours. It is made up
of 80 percent Hydrogen and 19 percent Helium like Uranus but has a little bit
of methane. It is bluer in color due to
the methane and another mysterious chemistry. Some of the winds are some of the
fastest in the solar system at speeds of 1,342 miles per hour.
There are a number of storms and visible clouds that come
and go. Like Jupiter’s big red spot
there is a large dark spot big enough for the Earth to go through. This was actually a hole in the atmosphere
that tends to come and go and no one knows exactly why. The axis is 28 degrees giving it about four
seasons similar to Earth and Mars, but each season is 40 years long. In 1989 a number of the pictures were
received from the Voyager 2 spacecraft it passed by and it took the spacecraft 13
years to reach Neptune from its launch.
And we haven’t been that close since to Neptune since. Even though Neptune is the furthest out from
the Sun Uranus is the coldest of the gas giants. Neptune generates more heat internally.
Neptune has 5 faint rings named after those who discovered
and researched Neptune. Neptune has 14
known moons all named after water deity’s in Greek mythology, Triton being the
biggest of the moons of Neptune and even bigger than Pluto. Triton also contains all the masses of all of
Neptune’s moons put together and even a slight atmosphere. It also rotates in retrograde to some of its other
moons. There are geysers that shoot
about 10 miles into the atmosphere and then bend about 90 degrees. Some
of the outer moons may have been captured moons. These moons take about 25 years to orbit
Neptune only one time.
When composing this piece, I wanted
something calm distant and the water theme of the god of Neptune and the sea;
even though it has some of the highest winds in our solar system. It was intended to be in an oceanic
scenario. If you listen to real sound
from the Voyager missions, it sounds like the sea or a wind that howls and
whistles as if there was a ship out to sea coming into the harbor. I would imagine it would go hand in hand if
the sound of the planet met the music.
