Picture by/Imagen de Christina Balit Neptune was the Roman god of freshwater and the oceans in Roman religion. He is the counterpart of the Greek god Poseidon. Neptune was likely initially associated with fresh water springs and streams before the sea. He was worshiped by the Romans also as a god of horses, being the patron of horse-racing. The son of Saturn and Ops, is always represented bearing a trident for a scepter. In Roman mythology, the consort of Neptune, a comparatively minor figure, was Salacia, the goddess of saltwater. The Neptunalia was the festival of Neptune on July 23, at the height of summer. The date and the construction of tree-branch shelters suggest a primitive role for Neptune as god of water sources in the summer's drought and heat. The adjective neptunian in the geological sense, refers to actions of water opposed to volcanic. __________________ Neptuno era el dios romano del agua dulce y de los océanos en la religión romana.

In the following link, you will find an entertaining tour through the Solar System, with allits major bodies. It's interesting to see in scale the distance between planets. Note that Eris is called Xena (provisional name when it was discovered). Makemake and Haumea had not yet been classified as dwarf planets when this program first saw the light. Hope you like it.

Neptune is the eighth and last "huge" planet in the Solar System. It is part of the so-called gas giants, and was discovered, as Ceres and Uranus through mathematical predictions. Neptune's magnetic field is also highly tilted at 50 degrees to the axis of rotation and displaced at least 13,500 km from the physical center. It is thought that this extreme orientation may be characteristic of internal flows of the planet and not the result of the tilt of the planet itself or of any possible reversals at the fields of Neptune or Uranus. Although it is very far from the sun, the planet seems to have an internal heat source. Neptune's atmosphere has a slot structure and composition similar to that found in the other gas giants, as well as phenomena such as hurricanes occur in the giants, whose diameter would be similar to that of Earth. There are thirteen known moons of Neptune. The largest is Triton, which owns more than 99.5% of the mass in the orbit around Neptune and...
