Neptune is 1 tomorrow * - 11 July 2011, so I hope you've all got your celebrations planned.
As it's too late to send a card, you can always add your best wishes to this thread :)
* Neptune is 1 in Neptunian years - it takes 164.79 Earth years for Neptune to complete one orbit of the Sun. It is exactly 164.79 years since it's discovery on 23 September 1846
