Dark, cold and whipped by supersonic winds, giant Neptune is the eighth and most distant major planet orbiting our Sun. More than 30 times as far from the Sun as Earth, Neptune is not visible to the naked eye. In 2011, Neptune completed its first 165-year orbit since its discovery. Neptune is so far from the Sun that high noon on the big blue planet would seem like twilight to us. The warm light we see here on our home planet is roughly 900 times as bright as sunlight on Neptune. The planet’s rich blue color comes from methane in its atmosphere, which absorbs red wavelengths of light but allows blue ones to be reflected back into space.
