Neptune was discovered as the result of observed irregularities in the motion of Uranus and was the first planet to be discovered on the basis of theoretical calculations. J. C. Adams of Britain and U. J. Leverrier of France independently predicted the position of Neptune, and it was discovered by J. C. Galle in 1846, the day after he received Leverrier's prediction After noticing an anomaly in the orbit of Uranus, Le Verrier predicted that there may be another undiscovered planet that was pulling Uranus out of it's predicted orbit. He did the mathematical caluclations to make a prediction of where the planet should be seen. Nobody at the University of Paris (where he was studying) wanted to look for the planet, so LV asked d'arrest at the Berlin observatory. D'arrest didn't want to look either but another Berlin astronomer agreed to, his name was Galle. Galle already had a star chart from before and almost immediately found the planet about a degree away from where LV predicted it would be.

Which planet has a surface that changing constantly?
Neptune. There is a "Great Dark spot" on Neptune in which you could fit two Earths! However this enormous storm seems to surface and then vanish without warning. This has baffled scientists. Not to mention that the wind speed on Neptune is tremendous.
What is the highest measured wind speeds at Neptune?
Scientists have observed Neptune for quite a while now that we are in the 21st century, but they are not sure of the speed. However, with help from the LK-9033 Telescope which entered Neptune's atmosphere the estimate the speeds to be over 10,000 km per hour.
What is the name of the storm that disappeared in Neptune?
The storm on Neptune that disappeared was called the Great Dark Spot. It was a large, dark, oval-shaped storm similar to Jupiter's Great Red Spot. Scientists believe it dissipated due to changes in Neptune's atmosphere.
How many moons does Neptune have in 2010?
Neptune has 13-14 moons. Scientists are not sure whether it is a moon or an asteroid.
What made scientists think that Neptune existed before?
Scientists hypothesized the existence of Neptune due to irregularities observed in the orbits of Uranus and other celestial bodies. These discrepancies suggested the presence of an unseen planet exerting gravitational influence. Mathematical predictions, particularly by John Couch Adams and Urbain Le Verrier, led to the discovery of Neptune in 1846, confirming their theories about the planet's existence. This marked a significant advancement in celestial mechanics and observational astronomy.
What evidence do scientists have that Neptune exists?
Scientists can see Neptune with telescopes. Also, they have many photos of it from when the Voyager 2 passed by.
Did the planet Neptune shrink in diameter?
Yes, scientists say Neptune is shrinking as we know it.
What is the simple predicate in The scientists have learned respect for the insects?
The simple predicate is "have learned" because it shows the action or the verb that the subject "scientists" is doing.
Do scientists think living could have existed on neptune?
no

What evidence led scientists to believe that neptune existed?
food
What have scientists learned about the new planet?
Which one? mars
What have scientists learned about mars?
that it is made out of red rocks
How many craters do scientists think Neptune has?
Scientists know, not think, Neptune has zero craters.Neptune is a gas giant. Gas giants do not have a solid rocky surface. Therefore nothing can impact against the planet to form craters.
Can Triton crash Neptune?
Yes. Some scientists believe that Triton's orbit will decay completely and Neptune's gravity will tear the moon apart. Ofcourse.this changes the question to " Will neptune crash Triton? ".
