Urbain Le Verrier Wow! Le Verrier ipotizzò l'esistenza di una seconda fascia di asteroidi nel Sistema Solare. Credeva che ce ne fosse una fra Mercurio e il Sole. Oggi sappiamo che questa fascia non esiste. Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier nacque nel 1811 a Saint-Lô, in Francia. All'età di 26 anni diventò docente di astronomia alla Scuola Politecnica di Parigi. Subito dopo incominciò uno studio intenso del moto di Mercurio. Compilò tavole dettagliate del moto del pianeta, inclusa la sua insolita caratteristica di spostamento del perielio dell'orbita. Nel 1845 Le Verrier si interessò al moto di Urano. L'orbita di Urano non è quella che gli astronomi si aspettavano dai propri calcoli. Le Verrier voleva scoprire il perché. Attraverso calcoli matematici, previde la presenza di un altro pianeta oltre Urano. L'attrazione gravitazionale di questo pianeta avrebbe potuto spiegare l'insolita orbita di Urano. Le Verrier consegnò i suoi calcoli all'astronomo Johann Gottried Galle dell'Osservatorio di Berlino. Usano i calcoli di Le Verrier, Galle riuscì a osservare il pianeta dopo soltanto un'ora di ricerca ! Le Verrier si aspettava di essere riconosciuto come il solo scopritore di Nettuno, ma qualche mese prima che facesse i suoi calcoli, il matematico inglese John Couch Adams aveva ottenuto lo stesso risultato. Di conseguenza Le Verrier e Adams si dividono il merito della scoperta di Nettuno. Nel 1854, Le Verrier diventò direttore dell'Osservatorio di Parigi. A quell'epoca l'osservatorio era in decadenza. Le Verrier riportò l'osservatorio ad un buon livello scientifico, ma spesso dovette usare misure impopolari. Per questo suscitò molte proteste, che portarono alla sua rimozione dall'incarico nel 1870. Diventò nuovamente direttore del 1873. Urbain Le Verrier morì a Parigi nel 1877.

Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier Le Verrier fu un astronomo che scoprì il pianeta Nettuno usando la matematica ! Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier nacque nel 1811 a Saint-Lô, in Francia. Insegnava astronomia al Politecnico di Parigi. Le Verrier studiò i pianeti Mercurio e Urano, e notò che entrambi avevano un movimento strano. Le Verrier pensava che il moto di Mercurio fosse influenzato da una fascia di asteroidi tra l'orbita del pianeta e il Sole. Oggi sappiamo che non è vero. Pensava anche che il moto insolito di Urano fosse dovuto a un altro pianeta, più lontano, che non era ancora stato scoperto. Le Verrier usò la matematica per calcolare dove si sarebbe potuto trovare questo nuovo pianeta. Uno studente di astronomia, il tedesco Johann Gottfried Galle, riuscì a osservare il pianeta proprio dove Le Verrier aveva calcolato che si trovasse. Il pianeta fu chiamato Nettuno. Le Verrier divide l'onore della sua scoperta con l'astronomo inglese John Couch Adams. Adams completò i suoi calcoli pochi mesi prima di Le Verrier ma non poté pubblicare le proprie scoperte. Nel 1854, Le Verrier divenne direttore dell'Osservatorio di Parigi. Lavorò molto duramente per mantenere l'osservatorio un luogo di valida ricerca scientifica. Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier morì a Parigi nel 1877.

L LAGRANGE POINTS Lagrange points (named for Josef Lagrange, the Italian-French mathematician who discovered them) are a set of five special points that occur between two large objects. At these points, a small orbiting object can orbit at a constant distance from both of the larger masses. This happens because at those five points, the gravitational force of the large objects is exactly equal to the centripetal force required to rotate with the objects. Three of the points are unstable (L , L , and L ) and two are stable(L and L ). Each of the stable Lagrange points forms an equilateral triangle with the two large masses. LAIKA Laika (meaning "barker" in Russian) was the first dog sent into orbit around the Earth. She rode on Sputnik 2, a Russian mission that blasted off on November 3, 1957 (Sputnik 2 was a metal sphere that weighed about 250 pounds = 113 kg). Laika was originally thought to have survived in Earth orbit for four days, dying in space when the batteries to the cabin over-heated. In 2002, it was revealed that Laika died roughly 5 to 7 hours into the flight, from overheating and stress. After orbiting the Earth 2,570 times, Sputnik 2 fell back to Earth on April 14, 1958, burning up during re-entry. Laika was a female mutt who was part Siberian Husky.

On this page: Essay Mentioned In Or search: - The Web - Images - News - Blogs - Shopping Predicting the planets Essay Predicting the planets The ancients knew the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn (and Earth, although they did not think of it as a planet). Some of them offered reasons why there were these and no more. Pythagoreans, for example, argued on the basis of number properties. Much later, Johannes Kepler claimed that the number of planets is fixed by the number of the five regular solids. The world was astounded, then, when William Herschel discovered a seventh planet, Uranus, in 1781. In fact, Uranus had been seen by other astronomers for years. It can be seen with the naked eye and had even been included on star maps. Since no one expected a new planet, however, it had gone unidentified as one. Herschel was the first observer whose telescope was good enough to reveal the "star" as a disk. (All stars except the Sun are so far away that they appear as points in even the largest telescopes.) Herschel's discovery was the result of his systematic searching of the sky, his good telescope and good vision, and a certain amount of luck. The other two planets, Neptune and Pluto, that have been discovered since were both predicted. Nevertheless, the same qualities, especially the luck, were vital in finding each.

The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. S o I'm thumbing through the 1876 volume of The Manufacturer and Builder, a magazine for mechanical generalists. Articles tell about industrial machinery, house designs, mathematical puzzles, musical instruments. Then I find a fascinating little notice. The header says, T he New Planet Vulcan. The What! Star Trek didn't appear until ninety years later. So I read: The article begins: "Our text-books on astronomy will have to be revised again, as there is no longer any doubt about the existence of a planet between Mercury and the sun." It goes on to describe the small planet Vulcan, and it tells of several sightings all made after 1859, when French astronomer Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier predicted its existence.

Suche: Main Page '''Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier''' ( March 11 September 23 ) was a French mathematician who specialized in celestial mechanics . He worked at the Paris Observatory for most of his life. He was born in Saint-L� , France. His most famous achievement is the discovery of Neptune , using only mathematics and astronomical observations. Encouraged by Arago http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Arago.html ], he performed calculations to explain discrepancies between Uranus 's observed orbit and that predicted from the laws of Kepler and Newton . At the same time, but unknown to each other, the same calculations were made by Adams . Le Verrier assisted Galle in locating the planet (September Aquarius . (There was, and to some extent still is, some controversy over the apportionment of credit for the discovery; see Discovery of Neptune Perhaps galvanized by his discovery, Le Verrier proceeded to interpret the orbit of Mercury as influenced by another planet (tentatively named Vulcan ). This triggered a wave of false detections, which lasted until , when Einstein explained the anomalous motion with his theory of general relativity He won the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in and again in He died in Paris France Crater s on the Moon and Mars , a ring of Neptune , and the asteroid 1997 Leverrier are named after him.
