Description:
On May 1, 1949, Neptune's moon Nereid was discovered by the Dutch astronomer Gerard Kuiper.<br/><br/>This was the second of 14 moons discovered at Neptune. It was also the last one to be discovered with certainty before NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by Neptune in 1989. Astronomers suspected they had observed a third moon before, but it wasn't actually seen until the Voyager 2 mission. Kuiper spotted Nereid using an 82-inch reflector telescope at the McDonald Observatory in Texas. He decided to name it after the sea nymphs in Greek Mythology. Neptune was the Roman god of the sea, so Kuiper stuck with the nautical theme when he chose this name. Despite years of astronomical observations, Nereid's exact shape is still a bit of a mystery. Voyager 2 did get some pictures of Nereid, but they were taken from nearly 3 million miles away and were pretty pixelated. However, spectroscopic observations have shown that it has a neutral color and may have water ice on its surface.

_legends-about-dragons-could-be-real.webp "You won't believe this, but dragons were actually real—at least, that's what some folks are saying! Apparently, there's legit evidence backing it up, like old bones and stuff. Archaeologists have dug up fossils that look like they belonged to these fire-breathing beasts. Imagine stumbling upon a dragon skeleton during a hike—talk about a wild discovery! So, who knows? Maybe these mythical creatures weren't so mythical after all. It's like a real-life fairy tale unfolding right before our eyes!Animation is created by Bright Side.<br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/<br/> <br/>Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV<br/> <br/>Subscribe to Bright Side: https://goo.gl/rQTJZz<br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>Our Social Media:<br/>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brightside<br/>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official<br/>TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en<br/> <br/>Stock materials (photos, footages and other):<br/>https://www.depositphotos.com<br/>https://www.shutterstock.com<br/>https://www.eastnews.ru<br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> For more videos and articles visit:<br/>http://www.brightside.me<br/> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>This video is made for entertainment purposes.
