Neptune Coloring Page
Neptune is the eighth and furthest planet, which makes it the natural last sheet in a set worked through in order.
The flowing bands suit older children who can follow a curve, and the storm oval gives the page one small area to pick out in a contrasting colour.

The windiest planet
Winds on Neptune reach around 2,000 kilometres an hour, faster than anywhere else in the solar system. The bands on this sheet are what those winds look like from a distance.
Found with mathematics
Neptune was predicted before it was seen. Astronomers noticed Uranus was being tugged off course, worked out where an unseen planet must be, and pointed a telescope there in 1846.
Triton, the backwards moon
Neptune's largest moon orbits in the opposite direction to the planet's spin, which suggests it was captured rather than formed alongside it.
Fun facts
- One year on Neptune lasts about 165 Earth years.
- Neptune is roughly 30 times further from the Sun than Earth is.
- Only one spacecraft, Voyager 2, has ever flown past Neptune.
