Position for the simulation time
Neptune's position is computed for the simulation instant by astronomy-engine, an analytic ephemeris model. There is no snapshot to age: the same code gives the same answer for any date.
Eighth and farthest planet. Strongest sustained winds in solar system (2,100 km/h). Deep blue color from methane.
One record per aspect. The origin says what kind of thing each value is; the source says where it came from; the limit says what it cannot tell you.

Neptune: mean radius 24,622 km; mass 1.024 × 10^26 kg. These values are bundled with the object record and drive the rendered size.
Approximate pale blue-green color informed by modern observations. Archived cloud structure and seasonal shading are not live weather or calibrated reflectance.
The short description and the fact list are written by the Space Time authors for orientation. They are not quoted from a catalog field and carry no citation of their own.
