Synopsis
THE NEPTUNE FILE tells the dramatic story of the gifted Cornish mathematician John Couch Adams and the discovery of the planet Neptune in 1845.

It is a story that continues to unfold today, as astronomers discover dozens of new worlds orbiting other stars, and await the first direct observation of a planet beyond the solar system...
