Despite being the third most massive planet after Jupiter and Saturn, Neptune, the eighth from the Sun, doesn't feature much in our family photo albums of the solar system!

That's despite its moon Triton almost certainly containing a liquid ocean under the surface
It's 30 years this week since NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft made a close flyby of Neptune, giving humanity its first and only close-up. Arriving on August 25, 1989, it marked the end of the Voyager mission's Grand Tour of the solar system's four giant planets–Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune–and nothing has been back to Neptune since!

NASA's Photos Are Now 30 Years Old (And Its Moon Has An Ocean) Forbes - Jamie Carter. Which planet takes 165 years to orbit the Sun, has 14 moons all named after sea nymphs, is ravaged by supersonic winds, and has only been photographed once up-close by a spacecraft?!! Meanwhile, Voyager 2 has entered interstellar space.

NASA news: What is this DARK SPOT in Neptune in incredible Hubble discovery?
Amy Simon, a planetary scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, said: “It was certainly a surprise
“We were used to looking at Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, which presumably had been there for more than a hundred years
The dark spots on Neptune were found to be monstrous storms brewing in the frozen planet’s harsh atmosphere

And today (March 25), NASA has revealed in a new study the atmospheric processes, which lead to the creation of these incredible storms.
NASA Juno: Jupiter's magnetic field is CHANGING and you won't believe why | Science | News | Expres
NASA’s Juno traced the magnetic changes to a particular hotspot near the planet’s equator – the so-called Great Blue Spot
Scott Bolton, Juno’s principal investigator from Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, said: “Secular vitiation has been on the wish list of planetary scientists for decades
“This discovery could only take place due to Juno’s extremely accurate science instruments and the unique nature of Juno’s orbit, which carries it low over the planet as it travels from pole to pole
The Great Blue Spot is an area of intense magnetic activity near Jupiter’s equator, where the secular variation is the strongest.
NASA sent Juno to Jupiter in 2011. It got back works of art - CNN

Jupiter's Great Red Spot is 200 miles deep - The Washington Post
The finding was announced Monday at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union, along with other results from Juno's first eight flights past the solar system's largest planet
On Earth, the Great Red Spot would almost graze the orbit of the International Space Station
But understanding the behavior of the Great Red Spot could improve scientists' understanding of weather on Earth, said California Institute of Technology planetary scientist Andy Ingersoll, a co-investigator for the Juno spacecraft!
