Planet Neptune Movie

[equalitykills]

Those orbits inspired me to play Youtube snake.

Pause + Ctrl!

Triton in retrograde at the beginning! :D

[miniplus]

@FeynmanMH42 I'm guessing that catching Triton was the reason that they started with a more distant (wider angle) view, and then zoomed in on Neptune after capturing said moon in the corner. That was clever of them.

Ha, I will check that website that shows the ISS's trajectory, I dont think it passes over my latitude (45 north). Thx for the heads up :)

Sometimes I'm observing and satellites just zoom by by eyepiece, looks crazy :)

[EasyWolf31]

I saw Neptune last night in my XT10 Orion Telescope, cool stuff.

[miniplus]

Wow, ten inches!

Are you able to make it follow the ISS? This weekend, 11/July/09, there is a Shuttle mission scheduled to it. The shuttle docks with the ISS on mission day three.

I guess there'd be some tricky adjustments to your equatorial mount to make it follow the ISS orbit. Maybe it's too much monkey business.

Just a thought, anyway.

@EasyWolf31 yeah well i can't see jack cause of alberta weather

[Trisscarr]

that was Uranus

[miniplus]

???

It was Neptune. You can verify that by a Google search on the

words: "Hubble Neptune video 2005". You should find this video on the first listed hit.

[joejames007]

Thanks for the upload, it is a beautiful video!

[test13379]

you animation is not accurate... triton is in retro grade orbit.. your moon is spinning in the wrong direction.

[miniplus]

The most prominently visible moon in this is not Triton. Triton is only visible at the very beginning in the far view. It is retrograde in that view. Look in the upper right corner during seconds 0.04 thru 0.07.

Also this is not animation. It is a real time-lapse movie of Neptune and its moons, made by the Hubble Space Telescope.

[derrickdanderson]

this is cool. but where was triton?

[miniplus]

Right at the beginning, 0:04 thru 0:07, in the upper right corner. You can't see it again because of the zoom-in.

[derrickdanderson]

got ya. thanks. did not see that the other day.

[RJL738]

Interesting video. Neptune is in fact, more than four times as wide as the Earth and has the strongest winds of any planet.

[RADIONeptune]

EXTREMELY COOL POST!! (EXTREMELY COLD PLANET!)

Thanks!

[miniplus]

Does anyone else (besides me) notice the 3D effect, or illusion, near the end, just as the ring-graphics are being completed?

[Jmsessn]

For one I like the video but, I like the video of Uranis was better with the speeding up. I did like the what the moons did at the end. All in all I thought it was...cool. :p
