You may want to think twice about camping out at Neptune. It has the highest winds in the solar system at 1,200 mph. While in the neighborhood, you’ll become mesmerized by this ice giant’s calming blue surface. True to its namesake, the Roman god of the sea, scientists believe there is a pressurized, liquid water and ammonia ocean layer below the outer gaseous layers of atmosphere.

If you’re lucky, you may glimpse Neptune’s unique pink aurora (Neptune’s version of the northern lights). The magnetic field of Neptune is not lined up with the planet’s geographic poles like on Earth. Instead, the field is tilted 47 degrees from the rotational axis. As such, the magnetic field is rather unpredictable. As the magnetic field twists and turns, so do the aurora, as the lights wander around the planet in unpredictable patterns.

Fun Fact: Kepler, the Planet Hunter space telescope, discovered 2,682 exoplanets (planets orbiting stars other than our Sun) during its lifespan. 75% of the exoplanets found were “mini-Neptunes”— planets between the size of the Earth and Neptune. These appear to be the most common types of planets in the galaxy. While we don’t have a mini-Neptune in our solar system, we do have a full-size-Neptune.
