One full Neptune-year, which lasts 164.79 Earth-years, has now passed since its discovery. Figuring out the exact timing of this milestone is surprisingly complicated – it depends on the uncertain time of the discovery, and on exactly how you define "one Neptune orbit", since there are slightly different ways to do that.
