- Neptune (Wikipedia)
Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun and the farthest known planet in the Solar System. It is the fourth-largest planet in the Solar System by diameter, the third-most-massive planet, and the densest giant planet. It is 17 times the mass of Earth, and slightly more massive than its near-twin Uranus. Neptune is denser and physically smaller than Uranus because its greater mass causes more gravitational compression of its atmosphere. Being composed primarily of gases and liquids, it has no well-defined solid surface. The planet orbits the Sun once every 164.8 years at an average distance of 30.1 astronomical units (4.5 billion kilometres; 2.8 billion miles). It is named after the Roman god of the sea and has the astronomical symbol ♆, representing Neptune’s trident.

Ezekiel 7:2 KJV“Son of man, this is what the Sovereign LORD says to the land of Israel: “’The end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land!

- The Four Corners of the Earth (biblehub.com)
The phrase “the four corners of the earth” is a biblical expression that appears in several passages of Scripture, often used to denote the entirety of the earth or the whole world. This expression is understood metaphorically, as the Bible frequently employs figurative language to convey spiritual truths and concepts. The phrase is not intended to suggest a literal, flat earth with physical corners, but rather to emphasize the universality and completeness of God’s creation and sovereignty.
- Four corners of the world (Wikipedia)
Several cosmological and mythological systems portray four corners of the world or four quarters of the world corresponding approximately to the four points of the compass (or the two solstices and two equinoxes). At the center may lie a sacred mountain, garden, world tree, or other beginning-point of creation. Often four rivers run to the four corners of the world, and water or irrigate the four quadrants of Earth.
