What year did the voyager 2 explore naptune?

Voyager 2 conducted its flyby of Neptune on August 25, 1989. This mission provided the first close-up images and data of the planet, its rings, and its moons, significantly enhancing our understanding of the outer planets in our solar system.

In My Last Duchess by Robert Browning what is symbolized by the statue of Neptune taming a sea horse?

In "My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning, the statue of Neptune taming a sea horse symbolizes power and control. It reflects the Duke's desire to dominate not only his possessions but also the people around him, particularly his late wife, whom he could not command to his liking. The imagery of taming suggests a struggle for dominance and the idea that relationships can be reduced to a possession that must be controlled. This theme of control underscores the Duke's character and his tragic flaws.

What is seen as a dark blue spot in the center of cell?

The dark blue spot seen in the center of a cell is typically the nucleus, which contains the cell's genetic material (DNA). In histological staining, the nucleus often appears darker due to the binding of dyes to nucleic acids. This structure is crucial for regulating cell activities and ensuring proper cell function and reproduction.

Have any robots ever gone to Neptune?

Semi-autonomous space probes have gone to the vicinity of Neptune, but no robots in the popular sense.

How does alien move in neptune?

We don't know whether there ARE any aliens on Neptune.

If Jupiter is 43.3 light minutes from the sun and Neptune is 4.2 light hours from the sun how far from Jupiter is Neptune?

Unfortunately, you can't give an exact answer, because it depends on where the planets are in their orbits. For example, they could be on opposite sides of the Sun or on the same side.

When on the same side, Jupiter could be near aphelion Neptune at perihelion, minimizing the shortest distance to 245 - 45 = 200 light minutes. Conversely, with Neptune and Jupiter both at aphelion on opposite sides of the sun the distance is maximized to 247 + 45 = 292 light minutes apart.

The best estimate for their average separation is given by the hypotenuse of a right triangle of their average solar distances, roughly (246^2 - 43^2)^(1/2) = 250 light minutes.

How can you compare the size of neptune with other gas giants?

Neptune is the fourth largest planet in our solar system, slightly smaller than Uranus. It is much larger than the Earth and is considered a gas giant, alongside Jupiter and Saturn. However, Neptune is larger than both in terms of mass and volume.

What planet takes the longest to orbit the sun after neptune?

Of the 8 planets, Neptune is the furthest planet from the sun, taking the longest time to complete one orbit, 164.79 years in total.

There are Dwarf planets and other bodies yet to be confirmed as dwarf planets, which are further out from the sun than Neptune. Pluto in one such dwarf planet, which takes 248 years to complete one orbit.

Eris is the furthest of the five dwarf planets though, this takes 557 years to make one orbit of our sun.

There is also Sedna, not currently classed as a dwarf planet, but it is thought to be one by many. Sedna's furthest point in orbit away from sun) is estimated to be 960 astronomical units (32 times Neptune's distance), while its closest apprach is 76 astronomical units (AU). It is though to take around 11,400 years to make one orbit of our sun.

Is there a tidal lock between the sun and neptune?

No. Neptune is too far from the sun to have become tidally locked. Neptune rotates quickly, as do the other gas giants in the solar system.

Does Neptune smell like sulfur?

No, Neptune does not smell like sulfur. Neptune is a gas giant planet composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, with traces of methane in its atmosphere. The smell of sulfur is associated with volcanic activity on terrestrial planets like Earth or Jupiter's moon Io, but not on Neptune.

What is the highest measured wind speeds at Neptune?

Scientists have observed Neptune for quite a while now that we are in the 21st century, but they are not sure of the speed. However, with help from the LK-9033 Telescope which entered Neptune's atmosphere the estimate the speeds to be over 10,000 km per hour.

Is there sharks on other planets such as neptune?

No. Earth is the only planet known to have life of any sort.
