Question
A ring of this planet is divided into five individual arcs named for the French national motto, possibly from shepherding due to its moons. Cubewanos and twotinos are part of a broad class of celestial bodies named for this planet, which has a fast-moving storm known as the Scooter. Unusually, this planet’s location was mathematically predicted by both Urbain le Verrier and John Couch Adams independently before it was discovered. This planet’s largest moon, which has a retrograde orbit because it was possibly captured from the nearby Kuiper belt, is named Triton. For 10 points, name this eighth planet from the Sun. ■END■
