in the book, World Book N014, pages 130, we found out that Proteus was a kindly old sea god in Greek Mythology. People called him old man of the sea. He had the gift of prophecy and the ability to change into shapes. Our second research was in another book, called Popular Science. Voyager discovered one of them was proteus. On the web at "apod.nasa.gov.," proteus was about as large as a satellite.
Proteus was irregularly shaped. Proteus was discovered in 1989, by Stephen Synnott. Proteus's equatorial radius (km) is 200 and distance from Neptune (km) is 117,600. On "solarview.com," Proteus is one of the darkest objects. Proteus reflects only 6% of sunlight.
It is about 400 kilometers (250 miles) in Neptune at a distance of 92,800 kilometers (57,700). Proteus makes complete orbit in 26 hours and 54 minutes almost 27 hours. Finally, on "kidsastronomy.com," Proteus is behind the moon Triton. Proteus is the second largest moon of neptune.
