{"product_id":"neptune-needlepoint-canvas","title":"Neptune, the Mystic","description":"\u003cp\u003eNeptune in cobalt, sapphire, and pale cloud-white, with storms turning in visible spirals at the upper left and lower right of the sphere. This is the deepest color in the Astronomy Collection, and the canvas takes the blue through its whole range, from near-black at the limb to almost white where the high clouds catch the light. Part of the Astronomy Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeptune was found on paper before anyone saw it. Irregularities in the orbit of Uranus suggested another body pulling on it from farther out, and Urbain Le Verrier worked out where that body had to be. He sent his figures to the Berlin Observatory, and on the night of September 23, 1846, Johann Galle turned a telescope toward the coordinates and found the planet within a degree of the predicted place. John Couch Adams, working alone in England, had arrived at much the same answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinished as a framed miniature, an ornament, or one of a full Astronomy series, this canvas is especially lovely for mathematicians, for anyone who likes a discovery made with a pencil, and for the blue in a room that needs it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003cbr\u003e— Mesh count: 18\u003cbr\u003e— Skill level: Advanced\u003cbr\u003e— Canvas size: 8 x 8 inches\u003cbr\u003e— Finishing suggestions: Framed miniature, ornament, or a piece in a full Astronomy series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKIT OPTIONS\u003cbr\u003e1.
