Then, at the XXVIth General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union – which took place between Aug 14th and 25th, 2006, in Prague – the issue of which was the most distant planet was visited once again. During that period, Neptune was again the most distant planet. The last time this happened was in 1979, which lasted until 1999.
But Pluto’s orbit is very elliptical and so there are periods when Pluto actually orbits closer to the Sun than Neptune. But then in 1930, Pluto was discovered, and Neptune became the second-most distant planet.
When it was first discovered by in 1846, Neptune became the most distant planet in the Solar System. This may sound like a pretty simple statement, but it’s actually rather complicated. But others are sure to surprise and maybe even astound you. But regardless of the reason, Neptune is a gas (and ice) giant that is full of wonder!īelow, we have compiled a list of 10 interesting facts about this planet. Perhaps it is because Neptune is the most distant planet from our Sun, or because so few exploratory missions have ventured that far out into our Solar System. But as it is, there is much that people don’t know about it.
