= THE PLANET NEPTUNE = = =        Williams, David (2007, November 29). Neptune Fact Sheet. Retrieved January 27, 2009, from Netune Fact Sheet Web site: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/neptunefact.html

=    Have you ever wanted to get away? If so, you should consider going to the planet Neptune! Neptune is one of the biggest planets and has a diameter of 49,532. If you like the cold then Neptune is for you. Because of its tilt of its axis, Neptune has a traveling hot spot that moves from the north to the south pole as it rotates around the sun, so you can visit Neptune's all methane, helium, and hydrogen oceans in the warmer weather. If you want to stay a while, you can visit one of Neptune's various moons (as shown below). On your luxury ride to Neptune you will enjoy a 4,348,252,900 kilometer ride which takes 16.545 years to complete. Because of our suspended animation pods, this long trip will seem to be a mere 5 minutes.=

= = =If you are a storm chaser you can travel here to watch the great dark spot. The great dark spot is a weather phenomenon, it is a massive storm similar to Jupiter's storm. This storm is interesting because it spins the opposite way a normal storm would spin. You can also enjoy the sport of surfing here. Neptune has the top wind speeds in the whole solar system! This creates many, massive waves to surf on. If you want to have a gnarly time surfing it up with other extreme surfers you can join the NESC (Neptune's extreme surfing club). =
