Celestial Buddies Planet Neptune Plush Soft Toy Science Education Space Gift 19cm

Behold! The Great Neptune, Outermost Planet of the Solar System, named for the great Roman God of the Sea himself! Neptune is a planet of remarkable extremes; like its twin, Uranus, Neptune is classified as an Ice Giant, and looking at its position in the Solar System, it’s not hard to see why! So far from the warmth of the sun, things are bound to get a little chilly. With its deep blue colour, it’s easy to see why Neptune became the namesake of this outlying planet, but in actuality, that rich colour doesn’t come from water, but methane. In many ways, Neptune represents extremes of both human ingenuity, and extraterrestrial environments. It is the only planet in the solar system to be discovered by mathematical deduction rather than direct observation (its existence was first theorized after something was found to be affecting the gravity of Uranus), and is home to some of the most extreme weather in the Solar System, including the fastest winds recorded! With this Neptune Plush by Celestial Buddies, you can learn more about this far-flung giant from the comfort of your own home! These Plushes are adorable representations of the planets and celestial objects of our Solar System, and are perfect for teaching both young and old about the wonders of space, and of our place in it. Dimensions – 19cm x 19cm x 16cm
