Neptune was not discovered by spacecraft.

The existence of Neptune was predicted on paper by Frenchman Urbain Le Verrier and Englishman John Couch Adams.

It was later discovered by telescope by Johann Gottfried Galle in 1846.

Voyager 2 did a flyby of Neptune in 1989 and sent images back to Earth. But it did not discover it.

Is the voyager 2 the only spacecraft that studied Neptune?

No, Voyager 2 is not the only spacecraft to study Neptune. The Hubble Space Telescope and the Keck Observatory have also observed Neptune. Additionally, the European Space Agency's Huygens probe studied Neptune's moon Triton.


Which planet had great dark spot before it disappeared?

The planet with a great dark spot that eventually disappeared was Neptune. This large dark spot was first observed in 1989 by the Voyager 2 spacecraft but had disappeared by the time Hubble Space Telescope observed Neptune in 1994. The exact cause of its disappearance is still not fully understood.


Did the hubble space telescope discover Neptune?

No, the Hubble Space Telescope did not discover Neptune. Neptune was first observed in 1846 by the astronomer Johann Galle using mathematical predictions made by Urbain Le Verrier and John Couch Adams. The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 and has contributed significantly to our understanding of the universe through its observations.


When have crafts visited Neptune?

No spacecraft have directly visited Neptune. The only close-up observations of the planet were made by NASA's Voyager 2, which flew by Neptune on August 25, 1989. This flyby provided valuable data about the planet's atmosphere, rings, and moons, but no missions have been sent specifically to study Neptune since then. Future missions to explore Neptune are still being discussed by space agencies.


What storm disappeared on Neptune?

The storm that disappeared on Neptune is known as the Great Dark Spot. It was a massive dark storm system resembling Jupiter's Great Red Spot. It was observed in the late 1980s by the Voyager 2 spacecraft but had disappeared by the time the Hubble Space Telescope imaged Neptune in the 1990s.

What are the names of the space missions that have observed Neptune?

Only one space probe has ever visited Neptune, and that's Voyager 2, which flew past in 1989. However, I suppose you could add the Hubble Space Telescope to the list too, since even though it orbits Earth it is a space mission and has taken photos of Neptune that are far clearer than any we can obtain from the ground - nothing approaching the quality of Voyager 2's pictures, though.
