The planet Neptune was discovered in 1846 following laborious calculations by Englishman John Couch Adams (1819-1892) and Frenchman Urbain Leverrier (1811-1877). These astronomers, attempting to explain deviations noted in the orbit of Uranus, independently and nearly simultaneously predicted the location of Neptune, which was then located with ...

1 de dic. de 2011 · Neptune had been sighted before its 1846 discovery, but it had never been recognized as a major planet. In 1843 University of Cambridge graduate John Couch Adams began to pursue the idea that the well-documented orbital deviations of Uranusresulted from an unknown body, probably a planet. Astronomer Royal Airy ignored Adams’s ...
By 1821, astronomical tables had been published with predictions of future positions of the new planet, but when astronomers looked to the skies, they determined Uranus was not where predicted. In 1843, John Couch Adams, a newly elected fellow at Cambridge, was convinced that an unseen astronomical body was disturbing it.
