About Neptune
Neptune is the eighth and last planet in our solar system. It is named for the Roman god of the sea. It is the 4th largest planet by diameter and third by mass, 17 times more massive than Earth. It was descovered on September 23rd, 1846 and was the first planet to be found by mathematical prediction rather than observation. Neptune is largely made of hydrogen and helium, with bits of methane and ammonia in the atmosphere. Neptune has 13 moons, and a fragmented ring system comprised largely of frozen chunks of methane.
About Hours
An hour consists of sixty minutes. We measure out our days in hours; when we are having fun, an hour is short. While we are suffering, an hour is very very long. In the Middle Ages (the 5th century to the 15th century) Christian monks and artists created 'Books of Hours.' They contained prayers and psalms for each hour of the day. They were 'illuminated,' that is, their texts were illustrated in gold ink and brilliant colors. The Cloisters Museum in NYC has a wonderful collection of Books of Hours.
