Description

Surprising new measurements from JWST reveal that Neptune is getting colder, and we don’t know why… In this Supercut, we’re exploring everything we know about the mysterious blue ice giant. You’ll see jaw-dropping new images of Neptune’s powerful aurora captured by JWST, and learn about a puzzling object orbiting in perfect resonance with the planet.



To those returning and new to the channel: This video is a supercut of our previous videos about Neptune, edited into a new seamless video, and remastered in 4K resolution. Plus, we’ve added some new science updates. Enjoy!
