Neptune has 5 rings * Adams Ring at 63000 km from the centre of Neptune * Le Verrier Ring at 53000 km * Galle Ring, at 42000 km. * Arago * Lassell - a faint outward extension of the Le Verrier Ring
The astronomer Galle, assisted by d'Arrest, discovered Neptune. Credit is also given to Adams and Le Verrier. They were mathematicians who predicted the position of Neptune. Le Verrier persuaded astronomers to search for the new planet.
Adams and Le Verrier predicted the existence based on calculations. In 1946 Neptune was discovered.

john couch Adams and Joseph jean Urbain Le verrier first discovered Neptune... Le Verrier got all the credit Adams wasnt even mentioned

Johann galle urbain le verrier and john Adams
Galileo, although he had no idea he had found a new planet, and did not note it as such, and is therefore, not credited. Neptune was predicted mathematically by a French astronomer, Urbain Le Verrier. Two observers at the Berlin observatory found Neptune within 1 degree of where Le Verrier said it should be.
Adams was the one to discover, school papers sometimes say le verrier and couch but prove ur teacher wrong and tell her that Adams discovered it i did :)ANSWER:Credit goes to Urbain Le Verrier, John Couch Adams and Johann Galle. See the related link for more information.
First, the name is John Couch Adams. He was the first to predict the presence of Neptune, but he didn't actually discover it. That was done by astronomers with a telescope using predictions from John Couch Adams an also from Le Verrier.
