imagine making a post this incorrect

>>11816361
Why is Neptune the least talked about planet, /sci/?

>>11816377
I would have imagined it easily but then I saw your most incorrect post of the year.
>500km moonlet
I guess it's as small as something else you have?

>>11816395
>the least talked about planet
You mean Uranus? Earth/Jupiter/Neptune are used constantly as comparisons to other exoplanets. ie.
>Super Earth
>hot Jupiter
>hot Neptune

Dem peasants can't afford deez blings

give this planet some attention

>>11816619
Tell me something interesting about it.

>>11816654
it's the drooling special ed kid of the solar system

>>11816654
>Neptune's outer atmosphere is one of the coldest places in the Solar System, with temperatures at its cloud tops approaching 55 K (−218 °C; −361 °F). Temperatures at the planet's center are approximately 5,400 K (5,100 °C; 9,300 °F).
Given this temperature gradient, somewhere in Neptune it's shirt sleeve temperature.

>>11816361

that's not Jupiter.

>>11816654
It's the butt of all astronomical jokes.

Gas/ice giants give me existential dread

>>11817281
haha just dont fall in bro lol

Jupiter look the most beautiful though a telescope by far. I think it depends on how you are viewing it. Big plain blue ball is kind of lame.

>>11816792
Who dis?

>>11817309
Pluto, but it's false color.

>>11816809
Imagine the view

>>11816361
Fact: Earth is the most beautiful planet in the Solar System. We just take it for granted because we live here.

These are plain, old fashioned photos by the way. No composite imaging, no enhancing schenanigans.

She's a very beautiful little marble. Must protect at all cost.

>>11816377
>plain white
boo

>>11816361
Shit planet, fuck off.
Titan is the best.

Will we ever get images of exoplanets? All those artist's renditions are just that, not the real thing,

>>11817928
I never would have guessed. Also no.

>>11817928
Fuck images, I want a plutonian lander.

>>11816809
Jupiter scares the fuck out of me. I don't know why.

>>11818235
Because it is a failed star?

>>11817885
-t. Titan
ur not even a planet ololololol

>>11816809
Get out fatass

and that's a good thing!

>>11817928
yes, but only when we can start building space telescopes with like 10km mirrors

>>11818235

Imagine slowly falling into Jupiter.

You went EVA to do some maintenance, and you just slipped away, in the general direction of Jupiter. Your suit has plenty of oxygen and radiation protection, so you'll be made to endure the sight for quite some time. Days. Somehow, you manage to fall asleep.

You awaken, looking into the black sky, but there is enough peripheral light for you to know that something very bright is nearby. Despite yourself, you eventually turn round. Jupiter has become far larger.

>>11817726
It's what's on the inside that counts.

>>11819466
but thats not how orbital mechanics works unless you are already on a course falling into jupiter before you go EVA and why the fuck would you do that

>>11819471

>missing the point this hard

>>11819472
I am incapable of imagining implausible scenarios

>>11819481

Your previous post demonstrates the contrary. You were able to conceive of the state of affairs, for the sake of discussion, and to reject same.

post WHITE girls

>>11818426
It's more of a planet than you'll ever be fag

>>11819497
Nice.

>>11817281
why? it's just a practically infinite nightmare abyss, the stuff of horrors and myths

NASA's archives are pretty neat. pic related

>Range:2.8 million km. (1.7 million miles)
>Smallest Resolvable Feature:50 km or 31 miles
>This Voyager 2 image shows the last face on view of the Great Dark Spot that Voyager 2 will take with the narrow angle camera. It was made 45 hours before the closest approach to Neptune. the image shows feathery white clouds that overlie the boundary of the dark and light blue regions. the pinwheel ( spiral ) structure of both the dark boundary and the white cirrus suggest a storm system rotating counterclockwise. Periodic, small-scale patterns in the white clouds, possibly waves, are short-lived and do not persist from one Neptunian rotation to the next.

stop this is nightmare fuel. but also continue

>>11816619
The single ring always confused me. Why?

Why is it so smug?

>>11818235
Jupiter is Earth's buddy, it eats big rocks so earth doesn't have to and doesn't afraid of anything

>>11816538
>Posting a render

>>11820713
This is the view I get on my $100 telescope.
I just wish it was easier to find and moved less. You look away for a second and you lost it already.

>>11816361
Why don't we just live on Neptune look at all that water its perfect

Uranus is underrated. It's a magnificent perfect pearl of pale blue with subtle rings. Not saying it's the best, but it's certainly pretty.

does neptune have a solid core you can walk on?

>>11822169

It might have a mantel of liquid diamond.

>>11822177
is it still diamond if it is liquid?

>>11822185

Not sure, just going with what I've heard. Astrum said it may be possible with Uranus and Neptune with a theoretical model.

We really don't know too much about them.

There's this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ1KJhC0SOo video, but I don't know how accurate it is.

>>11822546
I think I will avoid watching that just before napping

>>11822546
ok I hate the narrator on this one

>>11818235
As of now, we don't have a vehicle with enough escape velocity to get out of Jupiter. Once you are stuck within its gravitational well, you are dead with 100% certainty.

>>11818235

The fact that it's named Jupiter is very apt considering it's huge and powerful. We got fucking Zeus hanging about bruh.

>>11820696

because it is sovereign over all jewish child rape on earth.

>>11817281
Saturn too for me

>>11816654
It is the most viable planet for helium-3 mining and thus the most valuable for humanity if we wish to leave the solar system

>>11816361

One day, this planet will be surrounded by orbital rings dedicated to extracting Helium 3 for the rest of the solar system.

fuck off

>>11816377
what is this

>>11816654
It orbits on it's side
It's magnetic field is not centered on it's core but somewhere in it's mantle
It's moons are highly unstable and it's unlikely that any survive for more than 500k years before colliding with another moon
It's Unusually rotation means that has 20 years of Day and 20 years of night on Each pole
Miranda (one of it's Moons) has a 12km tall cliff

>>11817683
really want to see what it's like below the cloud deck

>>11820358
real ambient sound or sound of mic melting?

>>11817885
You fuck off, retard. Titan is a cool moon but not in the same league, you shit eating fuckwit.

>>11816768
He posted Uranus, not a Neptune, based brainlet.

>>11816377
I like how it looks in the center with all the grooves, but I don't care for the crater-dense parts.

>>11817885
I wish someone could launch a rover to Titan. I don't know if our current tech would be able to operate in these conditions for long periods of time, though.

>>11820713
fake

>>11817705
unironcally true desu

>>11817281
Here's the thing that creeps me out more:

There's no salvation. The planet itself is an unimaginably deep, cold, violent void, but your only alternative is to orbit out in space, far from the sun, and every time you pass onto the dark side of the planet you can do nothing but stare into the abyss.

You want us to give Uranus attention? No thanks...
