The solar system's most distant planet, Neptune, is a colossal world that still baffles scientists even today. Only one robotic spacecraft, called Voyager 2, has ever visited the planet, briefly allowing us to study its complex, dramatic atmosphere like never before. This is the only close-up footage ever captured of Neptune and reveals what it would be like to approach the ice giant planet towards the edge of the solar system.

    As a northern canadian, i might have to put on a jacket there.

    680 mph winds at -200°C temperatures. That's got to be one hell of a windchill factor!
  • @dennissprague2572
    Helps me realize how amazingly fine tuned our planet is for life.
  • @patrickjenkins6383
    "Cobalt Blue," has to be one the coolest terms ever assigned to a color. 💙🌚🥶
  • @timdailey2690
    It takes sunlight 8 minutes to reach Earth, but 4 hours to reach Neptune
  • @Kanak_Bodkhe
    video quality of voyager 2 1989: meanwhile bank cctv in 2023: *cant even see man's face*
  • @nopulau8628
    The connection from the Voyager 2 seems better than my cell phone reception on earth!
  • @tycannon384
    Voyager 2 traveled over 32,000 mph and it still took 12 years to reach Neptune! 🤯 Amazing.
  • @niksonrex88
    The fact that we can receive signals from something that is 7 billion kilometers away is insane.
  • @DaleRides
    Was gonna ask if the wind makes a sonic boom since the wind is supersonic there, but decided to give it a goog. Apparently the speed of sound is much faster on Neptune because the atmosphere is so dense. Pretty neat
  • @ScandalistRick
    Imagine the sound generated by 1000+ MPH winds. Wind that literally generating sonic booms. This has got to be one of the LOUDEST places in the solar system.
  • @andrewverrett568
    Something for everyone to think about. How insanely intense the gravitational pull of the sun is if a planet 4.3 billion miles from it is locked into its orbit.
  • @user-mm4nq3xi8l
    How patient do you have to be to wait 12 years for one photograph⁉️⁉️😳
  • @George.Coleman
    *The Sun explodes* 4 hours later Neptuninans: "Guys, somethings up with the Sun-OH GOD!!"
  • @annecohen3527
    it's not cobalt blue, actually its colour is similar to uranus
