Adams and Le Verrier predicted the existence based on calculations.
In 1946 Neptune was discovered.
Neptune and Pluto are two heavenly bodies that were predicted to exist before they were sighted. Neptune's existence was predicted based on perturbations in the orbit of Uranus, while Pluto's existence was predicted based on gravitational influences on the orbits of Neptune and Uranus.
Neptune
Astronomers predicted the existence and orbit of Neptune based on discrepancies in the orbit of Uranus. These discrepancies suggested the gravitational influence of another planet beyond Uranus, leading to the discovery of Neptune in 1846.
Neptune was predicted by astronomers be observing the effects of its gravity. Neptune was discovered in 1846 by Johann Gottfried Galle.
The astronomer Galle, assisted by d'Arrest, discovered Neptune. Credit is also given to Adams and Le Verrier. They were mathematicians who predicted the position of Neptune. Le Verrier persuaded astronomers to search for the new planet.

Urbain Leverrier found it but John C. Adams first predicted neptune was there.

Nobody did. Neptune's existence was predicted in the early 1800s and was discovered in 1846 by Johann Gottfried Galle. In 1989 Neptune was visited by the Voyager 2 space probe.
Neptune's location was predicted based on mathematical calculations before it was actually observed. The irregularities in the orbit of Uranus led astronomers to believe there was another planet affecting its trajectory, which was later confirmed to be Neptune.

The planet Neptune was predicted based on discrepancies in the orbit of Uranus, which led astronomers to deduce the presence of another planet influencing its motion. Using Newton's laws of motion and gravitation, astronomers calculated the position of Neptune, which was later confirmed through observation.
Adams and Leverrier both predicted the position of Neptune based on gravitational disturbances observed in the orbit of Uranus.
Mathematical calculations to explain an anomaly in the orbit of Uranus. predicted it existence before it was seen.
