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.
The planet discovered by Urbain Le Verrier and John Couch Adams in 1846 was Neptune. Their calculations independently predicted the existence and location of this new planet, which was later confirmed through observations.
John Couch Adams is famous for independently predicting the existence and position of the planet Neptune through mathematical calculations in 1846. His work played a crucial role in the discovery of Neptune.
Dr. Josette Biyo didn't discover it, it was named in her honour.
No, John Couch Adams and Urbain Le Verrier separately predicted the existence of Neptune using different mathematical methods and observational data. Their independent work led to the discovery of the planet in 1846.
Why would it be hard to discover a planet that is closer to the sun than mercury
I'm not aware of any planet John Herschel helped to discover. Obviously it could only be Neptune, but I don't think he was involved in that discovery.Perhaps your getting him mixed up with John Couch Adams.
Neptune was discovered by Urbain Le Verrier, John Couch Adams, and Johann Galle
John Couch Adams

John Couch Adams was a british scientist that co-discovered the planet Neptune. He predicted using mathematical equations that there was a planet beyond Uranus, and many people did not believe him, but he was proven correct. He was born in Cornwall, England in 1819, and died in Cambridge, England in 1892, age 73.
