neptune

Hi all,

According to some preliminary calculations, neptune should be in the
same position as 164y ago in 2010.
But can someone tell me when Hershell discovered exactly the planet,
after august 1849 probably, but when, what day ?

-- thanks

I have september 23, 1846, by Johann Gottfried Galle who write 2 days latter
to LeVerier "Monsieur, la planète dont vous avez signalé la position existe
réellement"
So you are one month too late, it was this year (and still is)

Hope this help.
