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.
