L'osservatorio di Berlino dove è stato scoperto Nettuno. Nettuno è stato matematicamente individuato prima di essere direttamente osservato. Utilizzando i calcoli di Urbain Le Verrier, le osservazioni con il telescopio che confermavano l'esistenza di un pianeta maggiore furono effettuate nella notte del 23 settembre 1846, fino al primo mattino del 24, all'osservatorio di Berlino dall ...

Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier ( French: [yʁbɛ̃ ʒɑ̃ ʒɔzɛf lə vɛʁje]; 11 March 1811 – 23 September 1877) was a French astronomer and mathematician who specialized in celestial mechanics and is best known for predicting the existence and position of Neptune using only mathematics. The calculations were made to explain discrepancies ...
The Kuiper belt ( / ˈkaɪpər / KY-pər) [1] is a circumstellar disc in the outer Solar System, extending from the orbit of Neptune at 30 astronomical units (AU) to approximately 50 AU from the Sun. [2] It is similar to the asteroid belt, but is far larger—20 times as wide and 20–200 times as massive. [3] [4] Like the asteroid belt, it ...
Thalassa (moon) Thalassa / θəˈlæsə /, also known as Neptune IV, is the second-innermost satellite of Neptune. Thalassa was named after sea goddess Thalassa, a daughter of Aether and Hemera from Greek mythology. "Thalassa" is also the Greek word for "sea".
Hippocamp, also designated Neptune XIV, is a small moon of Neptune discovered on 1 July 2013. It was found by astronomer Mark Showalter by analyzing archived Neptune photographs the Hubble Space Telescope captured between 2004 and 2009. The moon is so dim that it was not observed when the Voyager 2 space probe flew by Neptune and its moons in 1989.
