Neptune.
Calculations played a part in the discovery of Pluto as well, though in that case the calculations were actually incorrect. Pluto just happened to coincidentally be near the predicted region, and was found only because people were studying that area in particular detail.

Electromagnetic waves were predicted mathematically by James Clerk Maxwell and later discovered by Heinrich Hertz.

Was the Milky Way Galaxy discovered by the use of mathematics?
No - I suspect you are thinking of the planet Uranus, who's existence was theorized mathematically, and when astronomers turned their telescopes to where prediction said it would be, it was found almost immediately, very close to where it was predicted to be.
What happened on 23rd September?
This day in 1846, astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle became the first person ever to observe the planet Neptune, the existence of which had been mathematically predicted by Urbain-Jean-Joseph Le Verrier and John Couch Adams.
Variance in the orbit of a planet from its predicted path is?
perturbation.
Who was the first person to see Pluto?
Pluto was discovered in 1930 by a lucky accident. It was predicted mathematically that there was a planet beyond Neptune. Not knowing this, Clyde W. Tombaugh at Lowell Observatory in Arizona did a very careful sky survey which turned up Pluto anyway.
What planet did percival Lowell search for?
he predicted where Pluto would be found
What have the Romania's economy predicted?
