While space exploration frequently enough seems distant from immediate concerns on Earth, learning about planets like Neptune expands humanity’s understanding of extreme environments and cosmic dynamics. For India, which has made strides in its space program through missions like Chandrayaan and Mangalyaan, such knowledge underscores the importance of research beyond immediate applications-enabling advancements in technology, education, and global collaboration in astronomy. This could inspire future generations in India to continue exploring both local planetary science and the vast unknowns of outer space.
