Geocache Description:


Neptune is usually the 8th planet from the sun but from 1979 to 1999, Pluto was closer to the sun because of its odd orbit. Since Neptune was discovered in 1846 and takes 165 years to go around the sun, it won't complete one orbit until 2011. Triton, Neptune's largest moon, has ice volcanoes that spout liquid nitrogen which instantly freezes and then snows back down to the surface creating an icy surface that reflects what little light the moon receives, making it one of the coldest objects in the solar system at -400 degrees.

Neptune is part of the Our Solar System puzzle.
