Why is Neptune Blue?

!9# Why is Neptune Blue?

Neptune, the eight and final planet in our solar system. While one might expect the farthest planet in the solar system to be a dark, rocky planet, it seems Neptune is quite the contrary. Instead of a dark colorless rock, it is a vast blue gas planet.

Our First Close-Up View of Neptune

Though Neptune is so far away from the Earth that it only looks like a tiny faraway star when observed with binoculars, we have discovered that this planet is actually a startlingly brilliant blue celestial object upon closer inspection. When Voyager 2 flew by Neptune in 1989 (twelve whole years after it was originally launched from Earth in 1977), we got our first glimpse of the planet, revealing it to be a brilliant blue. So, what gives Neptune its blue color? We must first clarify what we are actually seeing, and we also must know exactly what to analyze to discover the answer.

What We Are Actually Seeing

When we see the planets in the night sky, we are actually viewing the light from the sun that is reflecting off of them. Therefore, we can ascertain that we are seeing reflected sunlight off of Neptune. But, why does this reflected light appear blue and not yellow like the sun's light normally looks?

Where Do We Look?

The answer to why Neptune is blue lies within Neptune's atmosphere, which merges into its liquid mantle. More specifically, we must examine the components of its outer atmosphere to find out the solution to our question. What do the high cloud tops of Neptune's atmosphere reveal?

Unveiling Neptune's Atmosphere

There are three major gases that make up Neptune's atmosphere: hydrogen, helium, and methane (along with trace amounts of water and ice particles). While hydrogen and helium make up about 99% of its atmosphere, it is the remaining roughly 1% of methane that is important. The presence of methane is why Neptune appears blue.

What Does This Methane Do?

These icy methane particles in the clouds take the red and orange light waves and absorb them, leaving the blue light waves to escape and reflect outward to our eyes. This is how the sunlight is reflected off of Neptune's atmosphere and appears blue.

Conclusion

So, why is Neptune blue? We've seen that after the sun's light reaches Neptune, the methane in the atmosphere of Neptune absorbs the red end of the spectrum's light waves, allowing only the blue light to be reflected back towards Earth.

The Amazing Black Sea Beaches

!9# The Amazing Black Sea Beaches

The ancient Black Sea is an almost landlocked lake but it connects to the Aegean and the Mediterranean Seas by way of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles straits in Turkey. Some of the beaches are beautiful and provide the only beaches to certain countries like Romania, Bulgaria, Georgia, and Ukraine. The waters are clear and almost sweet.

We are going on a virtual tour by countries in a clockwise order starting with Turkey. Just remember that Turkey has the most beautiful beaches on the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. But here we are writing about those on Turkey's north coast on the Black Sea.

Turkey Beaches

On the Black Sea Coast, Turkey has an array of beaches many of them secluded and others totally ignored. The water can be from a light turquoise to a dark grey depending on the weather and the color of the sky. The area as opposed to other parts of Turkey is laid back and people are very friendly and outgoing.

Amasra is a nice seacoast town located west of Sinop. It has its own fortress and is a good start for our visit to the north coast.

Sinop is a fortified town located east of Amasra and a good place to start visiting the different beach resorts.

Trabzon or Trebizond is the north coast's one of the best.

Ordu and Giresun are small towns on the way east where to spend the night in a small hotel.

Samsun is the big town in the area, busy and modern but with little to see.

Bulgarian Beaches

Bulgaria's Black Sea coast has been famous with Eastern European for decades. When the Soviet empire existed, people from other communist countries with no possibility of going to Western Europe or the rest of the world used to flock to Bulgarian Beaches for their holidays.

Cacao Beach is a beach strip of the Sunny Beach Resort. The sands are fine and feature some dunes. The waters are clear and the beach features all amenities for visitors like restaurants, bars and many water sports facilities.

Golden Sands (Zlatni Pyasatci) Beach is located 17 km from Varna, Bulgaria's biggest city on the Black Sea. The name says it all. The sands are golden stretching for about 4 km.

Albena Beach is ideal for family vacations. The beach is 500 meters wide and features pure fine sands. It is great for sunbathing, but it can be very hot in summer.

Dyuni Beach at Dyuni Holiday Village is located near Sozopol and the city of Bourgas. It is a safe beach for small children always under parent's supervision. It is a sheltered bay ideal for many water sports.

Primorsko Beach is a ten km sandy beach. The sands are golden and warm and the waters are shallow with a sandy bottom.

Smokini Beach, near Sozopol is a camp site. The waters are blue and warm and the sands are fine and clean. Many families with caravans and motor homes frequent this beach.

Shkorpilovtsi Beach is the longest and widest beach strip in Bulgaria. It is located south of Varna and north of Byala. It is an example of an ecologically clean beach.

Sinemorets, located on Bulgaria's southern coast is an amazing resort village. The sands are white and the waters warm and clear. Mouth Beach on the north is the open creek where the Veleka River flows into the sea. Waters are deep as compared to others in the area, so it is not recommended for children.

Nessebar beach resort extends over a small peninsula. It lies 37km northeast of Bourgas. Its beach is considered to be one of the finest along the Black Sea coast due to a large sandy strip of land between the town and the village of Ravda, covered with clean golden sand.

Romania Beaches

Like Bulgaria on the south, Romania has been famous for its beaches over the times. I remember hearing about Mamaia and Constanta for years until I finally visited them a few years ago.

Constanta, spelled Constantza has a warm climate in summers and features miles of white sand beaches, vineyards, ancient historical monuments and above all many hotels and resorts for tourists.

Mamaia is the # 1 resort in Romania with long stretches of beach. Mamaia is located just 5 km from Constanta and it is visited by many Germans and northern Europe residents.

Neptun or Neptune is the resort for the young and young at heart. It is located 240 km from the capital city of Bucharest. It is a place for singles and young couples who like the all night parties.

Olimp or Olympus Resort has the most modern beach hotels in Romania with discos, water sports, restaurants and bars.

Eforie Black Sea Resort is located 12 km from Constanta and is a great beach for families

Venus Beach Resort is a modern one near Mangalia

Costinesti has nice villas accommodating 4 persons in a room with entertainment, restaurants, discos, bars and many games on the beach for the young.

Beaches of Ukraine

They are mostly located near Odessa and on the Crimean Peninsula

Arcadia or Arkadia beach is the most developed beach of Odessa. It has a shaded boulevard with restaurants and entertainment options. You may decide to visit all the different clubs along the boulevard or go down to the beach.

Otrada Beach is another of Odessa's beaches. You get there by taking a cable car that will bring you direct to the beach while you enjoy from the beautiful views. It consists of many small beaches all very well equipped with amenities for families and children.

Lanzheron is near the town center of Odessa and is the most preferred by tourists. It stretches for many km of different beaches all providing warm Black Sea waters and many entertainment venues.

Delphin Beach has a sand quality which is better than any other one in Odessa. It is clean and well kept. It is much recommended for a beach day while in Odessa.

Luzanovka is the competition of Arcadia Beach. It offers many water sports like wind surfing, diving or Jet Skiing.

Fountain Beach is located south of Arcadia and offers all amenities and small cafes along the coast.

The Peninsula of Crimea offers not only beaches but a lot of History. The south coast has a subtropical climate with beaches attracting millions of Ukrainians, Russians and from other nationalities each year. Famous for it mineral waters, they feature many health resorts. The Black Sea is not as warm as some seas, but the water reaches 22-25° C during summer months and is often warm enough to swim in till late October making Crimea an ideal tourism destination.

Russian Beaches in the Black Sea

Anapa is the largest family resort town in Southern Russia, was founded in 1846. Anapa features perfect white sands mixed with pebbles for a stretch of about 50 km. The shallow sea is an invitation for families with small children.

The city of Sochi is nicknamed "Russia's summer capital". It hosts about 3 million visitors a year. Just think how cold it can be in northern Russia, so without leaving their country they may enjoy the beach on the shores of the Black Sea. Sochi is also famous for its mineral water springs especially in places like Agura, Matsesta and Khosta. People have been arriving here for health treatments since the time of the Byzantines and the Romans.

The local resorts are famous for treating all sorts of gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, neurological, hematological, and dermatological problems with its mineral waters.

The former Soviet Republic of Georgia, now independent, has about 300km of coast stretching from the border with Russia to the border with Turkey. Many of the coastal resorts offer treatments for cardiovascular, central nervous system, functional, joint and gynecological diseases. The temperatures are mild on the water and the outside; and the salinity of the water is about one third of the waters of the Mediterranean. Some Georgian Resorts on the Back Sea are:

Batumi, Kouleti, Ureki, Grigoleti, Mtsvane, Kontskhi, Tsikhis and Dziri.

Sedna to Cibara [Part III to "Project: Space Tomb"]

!9# Sedna to Cibara [Part III to "Project: Space Tomb"]

Sedna to Cibara

[Part III to Project: Space Tomb]

The Planet Cibara, looking up at Moiromma

Sedna's composition was ice and soil, mixed for the most part with (H20) water; (CH4) methane and frozen CO2 (carbon dioxide). The soil was carbon rich--brown from the components. Temperatures on Sedan got 300 below zero (at 450-plus, all heat nonexistent, it seldom got to that point). It is two thirds the size of the Planet Pluto, and travels a 1000-million mile orbit in one direction, and is ten times the distance from earth's sun, to earth's stable 93,000-million mile distance. This is what the Cibaralites astronauts were chasing as it was bound to cross over into Cibara's orbit, in the outer limits of earth's solar system, past Pluto and beyond. This large mass of frozen rock, would remain in Cibara's orbit but a few days, only to have a window of a few hours, for opportunity to break loose with its orbit, to descend to the planet Cibara, or else be pulled along with Sedan's magnetic hold, equal to that of the Earth's vs. the Moon's.

International Space Probe [Explorer]

The traveler's body makeup was capable of withstanding extreme limits of cold, thus, the space-probe [explorer], was now chasing Sedna like a bee, and even if the heading system did not work well, just the motion of the probe at such a high velocity would keep the outer part of the craft hot, thus, they'd not freeze to death.

--At the Space Observatory, Los Andes, Space Center, Tom had explained all to Toño who was now monitoring the space vessel, chasing Sedna into an unfamiliar orbit, and beyond the Oort Cloud (or Kuiper Belt), where a trillion comets dwelled (balls of frozen gas, dust, and water). Here they whoosh, flew by like a bullet freely, and the two Cibaralites knew it was dangerous, and difficult to transcend, but if they could get into the gravity of Sedna, they'd be pulled along and perhaps protected if bombarded by an oncoming comet happened; and thus pulling themselves out of the gravity belt, in time to catch Cibara's. For, inasmuch as they could tell, the space craft could pull its self out of the no atmosphere asteroid, and into that of Cibara's with ease, for it had done so with earths a dozen times over; it was not like theirs a hundred years ago, which was quite primitive, but strong enough to what was needed at the time.

The two scientists knew Sedna would enter into the dusty and complicated comet scattered belt ahead--and soon, and into the outer realm of the solar system, but they could follow with the help of Hobble IV, a space telescope some thirty million miles past the moon, monitoring dead space, and galaxy's for the International Community, and Military Scientist; yet at the moment, it was freed for their use, at Toño's request, as he had said he needed to get some data on the comets in the Oort Cloud, knowing, had he said more on the two astronauts, they'd be hunted down by several military Comet-Space Probes, which acted like assassins.

Interlude

[Narrator] This is a good place to take a rest from the story and explain the following. Toño followed the explorer probe carefully with the two telescopes working together, to send back the reflections of the giant asteroid, called Sedna, and its warm space craft, which showed its heat level as all things in motion have, onto their sensory screen, thus catching a dotted glimpse of their whereabouts as they followed the asteroid, into the density of the Oort Cloud. Again both so self consumed with the moments happenings, they did not look at priorities, if they had them, or even consequences; thus not reporting nothing to the authorities. In the past 100-years or so, they had chartered, over 10,000-new planets in other galaxy's, but not Cibara, or Moiromma, beyond the Oort Cloud, in another solar system--you might add. The reason being, planets unlike stars do not generate their own light, but reflect the planets star's light. And Cibara and Moiromma, where too far between earths's sun; and their own sun, which was 200-million miles beyond them, going in the opposite direction of Earth. Both Cibara and Moiromma had moons, thus, a protection at times from the elements coming in from space, likened to Earth's Moon. But at best, only a small wobble in Cibara could be detected with a dim shadowy orb along with it, and that was very faint to the searchers, which Tom noticed searching beyond Sedna; but no sooner had Toño taken the telescope-- he followed Sedna again--noticing beyond Sedna, there was something else, "But why would the two Cibaralites pinpoint their planet to us...?" Toño mumbled out loud? '...and only to us...?

[Sedna] The travelers had caught Sedna's orbit just before they passed Pluto--now looking back at Neptune behind them, the space travelers smiled at one another, as did Toño to Tom, as they kept watch on the progress as they neared and entered the Kuiper Belt, bodies of comets and asteroids all about, here and there, objects everywhere. (Sedna having a 1000-plus mile diameter, the travelers hoped it would be a good shield for them until they reached their home planet; inasmuch as, Sedna looped around Cibara in its long and enduring orbit. They were like hitchhikers.)

--Toño looked about through the telescope, he could see a 900-mile diameter asteroid, called 2004-DW, kind of a giant for the Kuiper Belt objects one might say, reddish-brown, orbiting close to Pluto, and nearing Sedna, as it had passed, so close, the probe was almost sucked into its thrust; somehow, both huge bodies neutralizing one another, as the space craft wobbled about between them two great bodies for a short moment; thus, settling closer to Sedna.

The female Cibaralite looked at the chronometer, it was 4:00 PM, earth time, terrestrial time, who knows, it was morning on Sedna, for the reflection of the sun could be seen on its convexity (outer curve, which reflected the mountains, and a few craters, shadows mixed with light; an orange kind of light.) They could see the Northern hemisphere; it looked like the probe was capable of pulling away from Sedna's gravity.

As the travelers neared Cibara they shifted into Cibara's orbit quickly and whirled about, they fell fast and deep into its atmosphere, red hot speeding through it, burning up as if the brakes of a train were being pushed on too quickly, way too quickly. They needed to slow down, and should they crash, they'd be nothing but vapor. But they were on the Northern Hemisphere, and as the cold of the winter hit the body of the probe, it cooled, and the travelers went into a frozen crater lake, this also, sizzled the outer frame of the space craft, allowing it to cool instantly, and as it sank, warmed the waters and unthawed the frozen ice, some 18-inches thick; but safe they were.

They would remain on Cibara for a short while; but they had a job to do back on the Moon, which would affect the Earth, and both travelers, gave an oath, to do it or die trying. The Cibaralites were a revengeful type of people you might say.

But if you immerse the biggest thrill of all, a great white shark, as there is no need to go to South Africa. Australia is an ideal place for this particular type of diving.

One possibility for great white shark cage diving in Australia is run on a shark-diving tours in Sydney. Meeting places, but increasingly popular for largewhite shark diving expeditions Adelaide and Port Lincoln in South Australia.

Both places are the starting points of live-aboard expeditions to places great white shark diving. Both from Adelaide or Port Lincoln Sailing the Southern Ocean around the islands Neptune. And even if you are making the trip to see the great white shark, you will also find many other interesting animals such as dolphins, seals and many species of birds. The beautiful and rare Australian seaLeo can be seen around the islands.

So if you have never experienced a great white shark cage diving and you are on vacation in Australia, you have the chance to try him for the first time. If you are not in a few days of shark diving expeditions, an easy way to dive with sharks, are in an aquarium. Australia has several places to do it, like Melbourne, Sydney and the Sunshine Coast.

Usually offered an introduction to scuba diving (unless you are a certified diver). CertificateDivers can usually skip swimming practice. After practice and introduction to sharks, they have brought in large tanks. Often it is also possible to feed sharks. You and your family can be observed from the outside.
