Moons of Neptune moons of Jupiter. Two asteroids share the same names as moons of Neptune: 74 Galatea and 1162 Larissa. The moons of Neptune can be divided into two groups: regular and irregular. The first group includes the seven inner moons, which follow circular prograde orbits lying in the equatorial plane of Neptune. The second group consists of all seven other moons including Triton. They generally follow inclined eccentric and often retrograde orbits far from Neptune; the only exception is Triton, which orbits close to the planet following a circular orbit, though retrograde and inclined. In order of distance from Neptune, the
Colonization of Mars of life forms, including humans, to survive unaided on Mars's surface. Some ideas of possible technologies that may be able to contribute to the actual terraforming of Mars have been conjectured, but none would be able to bring the entire planet into the Earth-like science fiction habitat pictured. Mars lacks enough gravity to hold on to any kind of substantial atmosphere, which in turn means that the planet will remain cold and cloudless, and the extremely scarce surface water frozen. Mars has no global magnetosphere as Earth does. Combined with a thin atmosphere, this permits a significant amount of ionizing
