Mythological connection:
Neptune was originally named Le Verrier, after the French mathematician and founder Urban JosephLe Verrier. The blue planet named Le Verrier was not critically accepted by the astrological community resulting in the planet's name change to Neptune. Neptune’s blue color contributed to its renaming after the Roman god of the sea. Neptune like Uranus's blue color is a result of red light absorption from the sun by Neptune’s methane atmosphere and blue light emissions being released into space.
