Rings
In the 1980's scientists found evidence of incomplete arcs around Neptune. Then Voyager 2 in 1989 found several faint rings. Neptune is surrounded by thin dark rings composed mostly of rocks and dust. They are almost circular. There are three distinct rings, named Adams, Le Verrier and Galle. These rings have been very difficult to detect because they are not uniform in thickness and density.
Moons:
Naiad- 1989 Discoverer: Voyager 2 Distance from Neptune (10 to the third power km) 48.227km
Thalassa- 1989 Discoverer: Voyager 2 Distance from Neptune ( 10 to the third power km): 50.075 km
Despina- 1989 Discoverer: Voyager 2 Distance from Neptune:(10 to the third power km) 52.526km
Galatea- 1989 Discoverer: Voyager 2 Distance from Neptune: ( 10 to the third power km) 61.953 km
Larissa- 1989 Discoverer: Voyager 2 Distance from Neptune: (10 to the third power km) 73.548 km
Proteus- 1989 Discoverer: Voyager 2 Distance from Neptune: (10 to the third power km) 117.647 km
Triton- 1846 Discoverer: W. Lassel Distance from Neptune: (10 to the third power km) 354.76 km
Nereid- 1949 Discoverer: G.Kuiper Distance from Neptune ( 10 to the third power km) 5513.4 km
