I'm not an astronomy nerd, but that's awesome, nevertheless Smile
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Neptune is far away? Pfffft.. Thinking

Neptune is in our backyard, our solar system

You appreciate terms of distance when you study far-away objects such as 90377 Sedna.

On this note, isn't Triton going to eventually collide into Neptune at some point in the future?

Yes! Not any time soon. In between 10 and 100 million years the two will collide and Triton will be exploded into colossal rings around Neptune... possibly bigger than Saturn's rings.
