Here is the stele of the Göttingen Planet Path for the planet Neptune. The Göttingen Planet Path has its origin with our central star in the Goethealle in front of the Hotel Gebhard. The short zone of the rocky planet ends in front of the Leine Canal. The gas giants are located from the navel (Jupiter), Theaterplatz (Saturn) also on Eichendorffplatz (Uranus) and here. The next planet is then the dwarf planet Pluto at the Bismarck tower. The planet path no longer ends at the Bismarck Tower but in Diemarden. A stele for Sedna has been added there. This is one of many trans-Neptunian objects, but one that has a high orbital eccentricity and that is roughly in a perihelion position in the Diemarden area.

The Neptune is already located on the edge of the development of Göttingen.

Neptune is the outermost of the large gas planets. The existence of Neptune was independently predicted by Jean Joseph Leverrier and John Couch Adams due to perturbations in the orbit of Uranus, and on September 23, 1846, Neptune was discovered not far from the predicted location by Johann Galle.

Like Uranus, Neptune's bluish appearance is due to a high proportion of methane in the outer layers of the atmosphere. However, Neptune's atmosphere is much more dynamic and shows structures, such as a large dark spot, that are similar to those on Jupiter.
