The Planet named after the God of the Seas appears blue like the Earth. Neptune was discovered in 1846 by Johann G. Galle (1812 - 1910). The physical makeup of Neptune is similar to Uranus, with Methane and Hydrogen in the atmosphere. It has a great dark spot (similar to Jupiter), large wind systems, eight satellites, five rings, and thin layers of dust.
