Introduction

• Neptune is a unique and interesting planet.
  Neptune was named for the Roman god of the sea.
  Its symbol is his fishing spear, or trident. One
  thing that makes Neptune unique is its 8 moons
  and faint rings. It is also the outermost planet
  of the gas giants, which means it doesnt have a
  solid surface. Reading more about Neptune will
  show you the interesting facts you will need to
  know for a onceinalifetime vacation. You will
  also read about the special gear you will need to
  survive on Neptune in this brochure.
