A convection oven uses a powerful fan to circulate hot air, so any food -- roasts, bread and even delicate items like eggs -- cook about 15 percent faster. Classic baked eggs, or oeufs de cocotte, cook to an ethereal consistency in about 6 minutes in a convection, about 4 minutes faster than in a conventional oven.
We can't see a lot of features in Neptune's atmosphere, but the features that astronomers can detect appear to come and go in a hurry. When the Voyager 2 spacecraft flew past Neptune in August 1989, for example, it discovered the Great Dark Spot -- a dark, oval-shaped storm system as big as Earth.
Neptune is the fourth largest planet in terms of diameter, making it the smallest in physical size of the gas giants. The average distance from the center of the planet to its surface is 15,299 miles (24,622 kilometers). But like most spinning bodies, Neptune's rotation causes it to bulge slightly around the equator.
