How Neptune's Moons Got Their Names Since Neptune was named for the Roman god of the sea, its moons were named for various lesser sea gods and nymphs in Greek mythology.
Triton is the largest of Neptune's 13 moons. It is unusual because it is the only large moon in our solar system that orbits in the opposite direction of its planet's rotation―a retrograde orbit.
In fact, even though its orbit crosses Neptune's orbit, Pluto gets physically closer to Uranus than it ever does to Neptune. Kuiper Belt Moons and Binaries A fairly large number of KBOs either have moons – that is, significantly smaller bodies that orbit them – or are binary objects.
In the outer solar system, the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn and the ice giants Uranus and Neptune have dozens of moons. As these planets grew in the early solar system, they were able to capture smaller objects with their large gravitational fields. How Moons Get Their Names Every moon discovered in the modern era gets a number first.
The planetary system we call home is located in an outer spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity – the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune; dwarf planets such as Pluto; dozens of moons; and millions of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. Beyond our own solar system, there ...
Proteus orbits Neptune about every 27 hours. Proteus is irregularly shaped and heavily cratered, but it shows no sign of geological modification. Circling the planet in the same direction as Neptune rotates, Proteus remains close to Neptune's equatorial plane. Proteus is one of the darkest objects in our solar system.
They are thought to come from the Kuiper Belt or from the so-called scattered disc, a dynamic zone created by the outward motion of Neptune that contains many icy objects with eccentric orbits. The objects in the Oort Cloud and in the Kuiper Belt are presumed to be remnants from the formation of the solar system about 4.6 billion years ago.

The Bible contains no specific direction on the practice of cremation, but it does tell of faithful people who either buried their dead or burned their remains.
Study: Should Christians be cremated or buried? Is cremation Biblical? What does the Bible say about cremation?
The Bible’s Viewpoint Should You Object to Cremation? Some people feel that cremation —that is, the reduction of a corpse to ashes by burning— dishonors the body and the memory of the dead person. ‘It is of profane origin,’ they reason, ‘and thus should be shunned by those who profess to worship God.’ Others believe that cremation is a perfectly acceptable and dignified way of ...
