The outer more » ring contains three higher density arc-like segments that were apparently responsible for most of the ground-based occultation events observed during the current decade. Neptune has three major rings at radii of 42,000, 53,000, and 63,000 kilometers. Neptune's zonal wind profile is remarkably similar to that of Uranus. About the same size as Earth in extent,the GDS bears both many similarities and some differences to the Great Red Spot of Jupiter. Neptune's atmosphere is dominated by a large anticyclonic storm system that has been named the Great Dark Spot (GDS).
Voyager 2 images of Neptune reveal a windy planet characterized by bright clouds of methane ice suspended in an exceptionally clear atmosphere above a lower deck of hydrogen sulfide or ammonia ices.

We might not experience revolutionary science or mind-bending transformations, but this eclipse can and will make a difference. At least for a few days, the path of the eclipse means that children all across the country will be seeing science in action - they can even join in as citizen scientists and contribute to more than a dozen crowd-sourced science experiments. The news media are generating increasing excitement by including science stories at the top of the news hour. Ordinary people are learning about planetary orbits and the moon’s umbra and the sun’s corona. This solar eclipse will last only a few minutes, but those few minutes have the power to inspire.
POLICING THE USA: A look at race, justice, media More: Trump champion: Bury Confederate romanticism. I was one of them: The moon walk fueled my ambition to learn about science and, ultimately, become a scientist exploring the cosmos. It inspired countless children to dream of being engineers who built rockets and mathematicians who calculated trajectories and astronauts who conducted experiments while weightless. The space race triggered tremendous scientific discoveries, but even more important it exposed people to science. I remember where I was when a man first walked on the moon. If you are of an age, I bet you do, too. Then, as now, the news media offered non-stop coverage of a once-in-a-lifetime event. Even better, it can inspire bright young Americans to pursue careers in science - and, if we’re lucky, it can also motivate our jaded elected representatives to give scientific research the support it deserves.įive decades ago, American eyes were also turned to the heavens. What impact will it have on these multitudes? Hopefully, people witnessing this total solar eclipse will understand the value of scientific predictions. Hundreds of thousands of people will witness a once-in-a-lifetime celestial event. Instead of flying to Uzbekistan or Norway to see the eclipse, you can just drive down the road to Wyoming or Kentucky. For this one, the USA has a front-row seat, as perfect as you could want. That one only passed through Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and North Dakota. It will go all the way across the country, and it’s the first eclipse to hit the lower 48 since 1979. Yet this eclipse is worth the hype because of its power to inspire those who take the time to watch. There’s no Concorde aircraft flying along at supersonic speed, keeping up with the shadow of the moon as it passes across the Earth, as there was in 1973. Despite passing over a huge swath of the country, it won’t intersect with any major solar observatories, such as the ones in California and New Mexico.
This eclipse doesn’t promise earth-shattering scientific discoveries.
GAINESVILLE SOLAR WALK NEPTUNE FULL
Tour groups are selling out hotels are full along the path of totality. Thousands of people will leave home and work to chase Monday's solar eclipse.
