Distant Neptune rises above the frozen crescent of Triton.  The planet rotates in about 16 hours. Temperatures at the cloud tops reaches a low of -220˚ C.  It  orbits the Sun in 164 years, and  rotates in 16 hours. Remarkably this planet is also warmer than it should be at this distance from the Sun. This, a likely cause of the dynamic weather systems observed in the Voyager images.  A dark blue oval shaped  region of high pressure was seen, as were  Cirrus type clouds,  at several locations in the atmosphere, which is composed mainly Hydrogen & Helium, with traces  of  Methane.                                                                               PAINTING  DIMENSIONS:  75 x 35.43cm, 29.42  x 14.43ins
