The Voyager 2 spacecraft
discovered Neptune moons Naiad and Thalassa in 1989. The moonlets are only about
60 miles (100 km) wide. If we race along with
Thalassa around Neptune, Naiad appears to be moving
in a wave -like pattern. That’s because,
compared to Thalassa, Naiad’s orbit is tilted
by about five degrees. It takes about seven hours
to complete the orbits. Naiad spends half of each
orbit above Thalassa and the other half below. If we plot multiple orbits, we see Naiad in a constant
dance with Thalassa. This is called a resonance.

Resonance in space. It's so cool to see how universal physics is
I thought I saw how aliens dance on the planet Neptune, hahahahaha. Now I am disappointed af. π

Neptune is just a blue beautiful planet that I canβt stop favouriting! π
It never ceases to amaze me just how often beauty arises from the natural processes of the universe around us. Thanks to NASA JPL for the lovely upload.
Wow. The odds of that happening must be insane
Neat πΈ
Keep it up NASA. You will never cease to amaze & inspire me. Thank you for making me the dreamer I am today.ππΊπΈ
