Há 4 dias · Calculations by John Couch Adams and Urbain Le Verrier both predicted the general position of the planet. In 1846, Le Verrier sent his position to Johann Gottfried Galle , asking him to verify it. The same night, Galle spotted Neptune near the position Le Verrier had predicted.
Há 3 dias · John Couch Adams (1819--1892), an English mathematician and astronomer, is most famous as codiscoverer, with Joseph Leverrier, of the planet Neptume in 1846. He was associated with Cambridge University for most of his life, as student (1839--1843), fellow, Lowdean Professor, and director of the Observatory.
Há 4 dias · 1846 – Urbain Le Verrier and John Couch Adams, studying Uranus' orbit, independently prove that another, farther planet must exist. Neptune was found at the predicted moment and position. 1855 – Le Verrier observes a 35 arcsecond per century excess precession of Mercury's orbit and attributes it to another planet, inside Mercury's orbit.

Although Johann Gottfried Galle and Heinrich Louis d’Arrest have the distinction of having been the first individuals to identify Neptune in the night sky, credit for its “discovery” was eventually credited to John Couch Adams and Urbain-Jean-Joseph Le Verrier.

Há 3 dias · John Couch Adams, born on June 5th,1819, was the first to predict the location of Neptune. Astronomers noticed that Uranus, thought at the time to be the outermost planet, did not follow its predicted path. The gravity of some massive object farther out was pulling on it, altering its orbit.
