alb9458465 Liber amicorum of Joannes Carolus Erlenwein, Mercury, Minerva, Neptune, Juno, Diana, Apollo, Mars, and Thetis watch the battlefield from above, p. 237, Hans Carl Erlenwein and his classmates in seminary school, all teenage sons of German aristocrats, composed this Liber Amicorum, or friendship book, for his Latin alter ego 'Joannes Carolus Erlenwein.' The books creation was itself a game: friends one-upped each other through impressive family crests, heartfelt Latin inscriptions, and charming images. Through images, Joannes became the hero of his own story as he and his friends jousted, played tennis, hunted, and rescued damsels in distress. Their choice to convey their strong emotional bond through these images is extraordinary. Yet as boys on the cusp of manhood, they juxtaposed light-hearted joys of youth with images of war and quests for honor, which resonate with prints of the Trojan War interleaved throughout.

alb5566297 In 1989 the space explorer Voyager 2 became the first manmade spacecraft to visit Neptune. Shortly thereafter, active geysers were discovered on it's largest moon, Triton. These geysers can reach heights of 8 km and blow the nitrogen they consist of up to 150 km away.. Triton is a very cold place, and it holds many secrets. One of them is why it orbits Neptune backwards, in a retrograde orbit. The answer to this riddle may be that Triton is a captured moon from elsewhere in the solar system. Nevertheless, Triton's orbit is leading it closer and closer to Neptune. One day it will be crushed by Neptune's gravity, and form a ring system, much like Saturn's. In this illustration you see a small geyser, with Neptune and two other, much smaller moons Nereid and Proteus in the background. Also visible is some solar wind captured by Neptune's north pole, in the form of Aurora Borealis.

1016_03_58613 Triton, Neptune?s largest satellite, is the coldest object in the solar system observed by a probe.

1016_03_58611 Neptune is a bluish planet that is very similar to Uranus; it is slightly smaller but has more mass. It was discovered by the astronomer Johann Galle in 1846 from calculations made by the mathematicians John Adams and Urbain Le Verrier.

After the first scientific definition of the term planet, the number of planets in our solar system increases from 9 to at least 12.
