Description
The next stop for the Stinger II has them approaching the planet Neptune.

Ankha: Me meow! It looks like a water planet.

Fox: You are close, Ankha. Neptune is an ice giant. Most of its mass is a hot, dense fluid of "icy" materials – water, methane and ammonia – above a small rocky core.

Krystal: Neptune's atmosphere is made up mostly of molecular hydrogen, atomic helium and methane.

Ankha: What about its moons and does it have a ring system?

Fox: Neptune has 14 known moons which are named after sea gods and nymphs in Greek mythology.

Ankha: That makes sense. Any rings?

Krystal: Neptune has at least five main rings and four more ring arcs, which are clumps of dust and debris likely formed by the gravity of a nearby moon.

Ankha: I guess it's lifeless as well.

Fox: Not as we know it. However pictures from satillites like Voyager reported that that there are canyons on the planet that are even larger than the Grand Canyon on Earth.

Krystal: That would explain the darker blue areas seen on the planet.

Ankha: It must be a real cold world there.

Fox: That it is. But there is one more spot to check out. And like a certain comedian, it's one that doesn't get any respect.
