neptune cannot be seen from earth by the unaided eye. even when viewed through a telescope it looks like a tiny blue dot as distant as the stars. in fact galileo saw neptune through his small telescope almost 400 years ago but mistook it for a star neptune was first identifie as a planet in 1846 at the berlin observatory in germany. later the planet was named neptune after the roman god of the sea. neptune is the eighth major planet in the solar system and takes 165 years to orbit the sun. pluto is a dwarf planet an takes almost 250 years to circle the sun but pluto has an odd orbit that brings it closer to the sun than neptune is for 20 out of every 250 years. so between 1979 and 1999 neptune was the outermost of the planets. neptune is about 2.8 billion miles (4.5 billion kilometer) from the sun, 30 times farther away than planet earth like jupiter,saturn, and uranus, neptune is a giant planet make up mostly of gases. neptune is about 30,000 miles (50,000 kilometers) across, just a bit smaller than uranus if neptune were hallow about 42 earths could fit inside. the voyager 2 spacecraft seen in the painting on the right was launched from earth on august 20 1977 it was the beginning of a remarkable tour of the outer planets. voyager 2 was supposed to visit only two planets jupiter and saturn but back on earth space engineers figured out a new flight path and 12 years and more than 2.8 billion miles (4.3 billion kilometers) after leaving earth, voyager 2 whizzed past the blue storm clouds of neptune on august 25 1989 the space craft dipped over the north pole of neptune raced past is largest moon triton and headed on its way out of the solar system. scientist learned more about neptune in the few days of voyagers flyby than in nearly 150 years of observing from earth neptune is so far from us that little was known of the planet execpt that it was a gas giant with two moons and several "ring arcs" or incomplete rings now we have so much information that scientists will need years to examine and understand it all. neptune is a turbulent world with raging winds giant dark hurricanes and streaky white clouds of methane ice that lie 35 miles (55kilometers) above the lower loud deck the inner two-thirds of the planet is a mixture of molten rock water liquid ammonia and methane the outer third is a heated gas mixture of hydrogen helium ammonia water and a small amount of methane methane in the atmosphere absorbs red light which is the reason for neptunes blue color. haze high above clouds results in the red in this photograph. neptune rotates eastward once every 16 hours and three minutes. strong frigid wind blow westward in the atmosphere against the planets rotation at the fastest speeds every measured on a planet up to 700 miles (1,100 kilometers) per hour. neptune has two dark storms spots that resemble jupiter's great red spot. the larger of the two was therefore named the great dark spot it is a huge tropical storm big enough to swallow our entire planet earth. south of the great dark spot is a bright white cloud scientists have nicknamed "scooter" farther south is the smaller dark spot 2. a close up view of the great dark spot shows darker and lighter blue areas and streamers of white clouds that change in appearance every few hours. the clouds consist of crystals of methane-ice unlike the water ice cirrus clouds found in earths atmosphere. This photo of neptune shows bands of sunlit cirrus-like clouds in neptunes northern hemisphere these clouds cast dark shadows on the blue cloud deck 35 miles (55 kilometers) below. the white streaky clouds are from 30to100 miles (50 to 160 kilometers) wide and extend for thousands of miles. scientists cannot yet explain how these clouds form so high in the atmosphere or why they are found in only one location on the planet neptune has some other features that surprised scientists. neptunes magnetic north and south poles, like those of its neighbor uranus are 50 degrees away from its geographic poles. (in contrast earths magnetic and geographic poles are only 10 degrees apart) another similarity between neptune and uranus is that the temperature of the planets poles and equator is nearly the same and both are warmer than midlatitudes. like jupiter saturn and uranus neptune is encircled by a set of rights and like the ones around uranus neptunes rings are narrow and very faint neptune has five main rings and several other very faint rings there are two bright rings two fainter inner rings and a sheet of fusty material that may reach down to the planets cloud tops the rings are made up of countless tiny particles of the dark dust revolivng around the planet this dust is thought to have been caused by tiny meteorites smashing into neptunes moon over millions of years. the "ring arcs" turned out to be bright clumps in neptunes complete outer ring scientists still are not sure how the clumps in the ring formed. the complete ring system can be seen in this pair of images sent by voyager 2 the planet itself was left out which is the reason fro the black strip in the middle. before voyager 2 scientists thought neptune had only two moons triton an nereid. nereid is a small moon only 210 miles (340 kilometers) across this moon did not condense from the same matter as neptune instead nereid resembles a distant asteroid called chiron. perhaps nereid wandered into neptunes gravitational field and was captured to become a moon. triton is much bigger about 1,700 miles (2,700 kilometers) across, nearly as big as out own moon. also triton is the only large moon in the solar system to orbit in a direction opposite to the planets rotation. this view of triton was taken more than three million miles away by the approaching voyager 2 spaceship. it looked like a pinkish ball covered by dark splotches but triton turned out to be full of surpises."A world unlike any other" is how space scientist described the moon triton. triton is colder than any other object every measured in the solar system even so its tilted axis and angled orbit give it colder and warmer seasons. the large south polar cap at the bottom of the photo now at the height of a 41-year-long summer, is slowly evaporating curst of nitrogen and methane-ice left over from the previous winter enormous cracks scar the moons face. from the ragged edge of the polar cap northward the surface is which then darker and redder. scientists think red color may be caused by ultraviolet light and other radiation acting on methane gas and ice. this photo of tritons surface shows frozen lakes edged by higher terraces. scientists think that the land has been resurfaced by erupting geysers or volcanoes gushing slushy ice squeezed out of the inside of the moon when the slush froze solid it left a smoother surface on the moon water ice is as still as rock at the cold temperatures found on triton. one of the many puzzling things about triton is the cause of the dark streaks on the south polar cap some space scientists suggest that the streaks were made by geyser-like eruptions of nitrogen. frozen nitrogen might have been heated underground and burst out of the ground carrying darker materials from the crust upward in giant plumes of dust an gas the dust would have settled downwind and become visible on the frosty surface of the moon. just above the south polar cap large parts of tritons surface looks like the ring of. cantaloupe or an orange this dimpled landscape may have been formed by repeated melting and then hardening over the years. gigantic cracks or fault lines slash across the surface meeting the huge x's and y's slushy water ice and ammonia ice appear to have forced their way upward into some of the cracks forming central ridges and sometimes overflowing onto the surrounding land. the signs of past volcanic activity on tritons surface prove that it was a hotter place a long time ago billions of years in the past triton may have been a dwarf planet somewhat like pluto circling the sun on it own later triton was captured by neptunes gravitational pull and became a moon one space scientist called triton the frozen imprint of that earlier era. neptune has 13 known moons. all of the have been named after lesser roman gods of the sea the photo shows proteus it is the second largest moon after triton but less than one-hundredth the mass. it is about 260 miles (420 kilometers) across and orbits close to the planet all the moons are dark irregular shaped chunks of rock that range from 30 to about 240 miles (48 to 385 kilometers) across. their meteor-scarred surfaces show that the moons have not been melted since the time they were formed, billions of years ago. three days after its flyby voyager 2 took this picture of neptune and its moon triton (top) the spaceship's power source should last unit about 2015. by then voyager will reach the heliopause the true end of the solar system where particles from the sun meet interstellar space then voyager will drift silently through time and space, a testament to the human search for knowledge

Certainly! Here are five reasons why Earth should not be littered:
1. **Environmental Protection**: Litter can harm ecosystems and wildlife. Animals may ingest or become entangled in trash, leading to injury or death. Additionally, litter can pollute soil and water sources, disrupting natural habitats and biological processes.
2. **Human Health Risks**: Litter can pose health risks to humans, as it can attract pests and create breeding grounds for insects and rodents. Items like broken glass and sharp objects can cause injuries, while hazardous waste can contaminate drinking water and pose serious health threats.
3. **Aesthetic Degradation**: Litter detracts from the natural beauty of landscapes and urban areas, diminishing the quality of life for residents and visitors alike. Clean environments are more pleasant and can encourage outdoor activities, tourism, and community pride.
4. **Economic Impact**: Litter can negatively affect local economies by deterring tourists and reducing property values. Communities often need to spend significant funds on litter clean-up and waste management, diverting resources from other essential services.
5. **Social Responsibility and Awareness**: Littering reflects a lack of respect for the community and environment. Promoting a culture of cleanliness encourages individuals to take responsibility for their actions, fostering a sense of community and stewardship toward the planet.
Reducing littering is crucial for a sustainable future and the well-being of both people and the environment.

Neptune, the eighth planet in our solar system, cannot be seen with the naked eye and appears as a small blue dot even through a telescope. Discovered as a planet in 1846, it was named after the Roman god of the sea. Neptune is about 2.8 billion miles from the Sun and takes 165 years to complete its orbit. It is a gas giant, slightly smaller than Uranus, with a diameter of 30,000 miles and atmospheric winds that can reach 700 miles per hour.
The Voyager 2 spacecraft, launched in 1977, provided significant insights about Neptune in 1989 during its flyby, revealing its turbulent atmosphere, dark storm spots, and faint ring system. It has five main rings composed of tiny dust particles and at least 13 known moons, including Triton, which features unique geysers and a cold surface.
Triton, which orbits Neptune in the opposite direction, shows signs of past volcanic activity and intriguing surface patterns. The moons, including the second-largest, Proteus, are irregularly shaped and dark, suggesting they haven't changed much since their formation. Voyager 2’s mission contributed greatly to our understanding of Neptune and its moons before continuing its journey into interstellar space.
