Neptune has been in Aquarius for several years, but it is now approaching
the eastern outskirts, after which it will move into Pisces. This
year it passed very close to λ Aquarii, but now it is slowly moving
away. Note its greenish color in the magnified view, which is a hue
that no star would present. If it were brighter, it would be a
spectacular sight, almost comet-like in how green it is.
