Other moons

Neptune, discovered in 1846 by Johann Gottfried Galle, is the last of the Jovian planets. Like Uranus, the methane in Neptune's atmosphere absorbs red light and gives the planet its blue color. Like the other Jovian planets, Neptune has a faint ring system surrounding it similar to Jupiter's and Uranus'. Neptune, like Jupiter, has raging storms on the planet as well. The Great Dark Spot is one such storm easily visible on the planet. Another storm, discovered by Voyager 2, is much smaller and circles the planet approximately every 16 hours.
