Mathematical prediction
Neptune was the first planet to be discovered by mathematical predictions.
German astronomer Johann Galle made the initial observation of the planet in 1846, utilising forecasts forwarded by French astronomer Urbain Le Verrier. These predictions stemmed from irregularities detected in the orbit of Uranus.
The planet has the name of the Roman deity of the sea, as proposed by Le Verrier.
* This specimen was captured in an expedition to Bali.
Printed on archival Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper.
All prints are sold unframed and available in four sizes.
