Presidents among our alumni - so far:ДЄnd while it would be impossible to list them all - though there's a long list of our notable alumni on WikipediaВ - here's a sampling of impressive folks we're also proud to claim: presidents (only Harvard and Yale can claim more).В Across the board, our highly successful alumni credit their experiences at William & Mary for shaping and inspiring their future work. Still others soar to the top of the business world or serve the nation as members of Congress, diplomats and more than a few U.S. For others, it means following a dream and becoming an author, an Olympic athlete, a biomedical researcher or the creator of an award-winning sitcom. Very well.ДЇor some of our graduates, this means pioneering human rights for women and war refugees. ItвЂ™s hard to get a sense of whatвЂ™s going on out on NeptuneвЂ“temperatures are barely above absolute zero, itвЂ™s buffeted by the strongest winds in the solar system (up to 1,300mph), and in fact we have very little idea how the planet was formed or operates.The definition of success for a William & Mary graduate is doing something you love and doing it well. And this image is not very good because Neptune has been visited only once, by the Voyager 2, in 1989. The final planet that is technically a planet according to scientists (but not our hearts), Neptune was only discovered in 1846 and even then it was discovered due to mathematical calculation, not due to observationвЂ“changes in the orbit of Uranus led astronomer Alexis Brouvard to the discovery that another planet was out there.

ItвЂ™s believed that there are clouds of water somewhere underneath, but, well, weвЂ™re not really sure. ThatвЂ™s due to a haze of methane clouds, which are the final layer of frozen gases in this little-known planet. In 1986, when Voyager 2 passed by the first вЂњice giantвЂќ on its way out to the unknown, it looked like nothing more than a featureless blue-green sphere. This backlit view from Cassini shows SaturnвЂ™s rings in glorious detail. This image is notable because these colors are very close to what the human eye would see. Interestingly, everything you see in this image is actually a cloud, not the surface of the planet itselfвЂ“the white and tan rings are all different types of cloud cover. JupiterвЂ™s prettiest shot came from, believe it or not, a flybyвЂ“this beautiful image was taken in November of 2003 with the somewhat narrow camera on NASAвЂ™s Cassini spacecraft while Cassini was on its way to Saturn. That gash in the middle is Valles Marineris, a massive canyon along the planetвЂ™s equator thatвЂ™s among the largest in our solar system. ItвЂ™s a mosaic of images taken by the Viking 1 orbiter. Those are incredible, but we were really looking for a вЂњmarbleвЂќ style picture, and this is one of the most gorgeous weвЂ™ve ever seen. Recent efforts on Mars have resulted in some of the highest-quality shots ever taken of the Red Planet, but theyвЂ™re mostly from close by or, lately, on the surface.

For Mars, weвЂ™re going to reach all the way back to 1980.

Incredible definition
