Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book describes the extraordinary discovery of the planet Neptune in 1846, a testament to scientific deduction and human ingenuity. The author chronicles the work of astronomers who, after observing irregularities in the motion of Uranus, posited the existence of an unknown celestial body exerting a gravitational pull on Uranus. The author details the intense scientific race between two mathematicians, Adams and Le Verrier, both of whom correctly predicted the location of the new planet. The book also discusses the scientific significance of the discovery of Neptune, which challenged prevailing theories about the solar system and opened new avenues of astronomical exploration.
