John Couch Adams Adams made the first calculations that explained Uranus’s deviations from its orbit. He tried to observe the planet but, due to some errors, he couldn’t finally do it.
Urbain Jean-Joseph Le Verrier Le Verrier completed the calculations of Neptune’s orbit (Distance to the sun, speed, mass…) and sent them to Galle, who could use a modern telescope.
Johann Gottfried Galle Galle was the first to actually see and recognize Neptune. Thanks to Le Verrier’s calculations, he could point his telescope toward the planet and observe it.
