He is a French astronomer who co-discovered the planet Neptune. His mathematical prediction of where the planet would be found was accurate within a degree.

Urbain Le Verrier was born on March 11, 1811 and died on September 23, 1877. Urbain Le Verrier would have been 66 years old at the time of death or 204 years old today.
Neptune was discovered by German astronomer Johann Galle and French mathematician Urbain Le Verrier in 1846. Le Verrier had calculated the planet's existence based on discrepancies in the orbit of Uranus, and Galle confirmed its existence by observing it through a telescope.
Urbain Le Verrier and Adams
john couch Adams and Joseph jean Urbain Le verrier first discovered Neptune... Le Verrier got all the credit Adams wasnt even mentioned
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.
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
Johann Gottfried Galle did not discover a planet himself. He was the astronomer who, in collaboration with Urbain Le Verrier, first observed the planet Neptune in 1846 based on Le Verrier's calculations.
