Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun and the farthest planet in the Solar system. It is a gas giant and a representative of the solar planets category of the external system. Pluto flew from the planetary list, so Neptune closes the chain.Neptune is impossible to find without the use of tools. It was first noticed only in 1846. The position was calculated mathematically. The name is given in honor of the sea deity of the Romans.Equatorial clouds serve as a rotation for 18 hours.It is smaller than Uranium, but superior in mass. Under the heavy atmosphere are hidden layers of hydrogen, helium and methane gases. There's water, ammonia and methane ice. The inner core is represented by a rock.In 1989, Voyager 2 flew past Neptune and sent the first large-scale images of the system. Also the planet was observed by the Hubble space telescope.
New Year’s Day is a family holiday for many Russians. Dinner usually starts late on December 31. Traditional meals include Russian salad, herring and sparkling wine. A pre-recorded address by the country’s president appears on TV, listing the achievements of the past year, at 11.55pm (23:55) local time in each of Russia’s time zones. Many people watch his address and raise a toast to the chiming of the Kremlin clock. The Russian national anthem begins at midnight and people congratulate each other and exchange presents. Some people go out to make a snowman or light fire crackers in their backyards.
People may celebrate the day at a friend’s house or attend the fireworks in their city. Celebrations for children include a decorated fir tree and Grandfather Frost, the Russian equivalent of Santa Claus, who gives presents. Grandfather Frost often comes with his granddaughter, Snegurochka (“The Snow Girl”). As things quieten down later in the day, many people visit their friends or relatives. Another tradition is to wish a “Happy New Year” to passers-by throughout January 1.
