Has a top layer of cloud which does not clear, which keeps us from seeing the surface. Mangellan: the rst space prove to be launched from a space shuttle in 1989. Mean distance of about 0. 72 au, second closest planet to the sun. Rotates clockwise (called retrograde) along with pluto and uranus while all other planets spin counter clockwise.
