At the age of 24, Adams was the first person to predict the position of a planetary mass beyond Uranus . After Johann Gottfried Galle confirmed the existence of Neptune based on independent calculations done by Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier , the two became embroiled in a dispute over priority. albedo Reflectivity of an object; ratio of reflected light to incident light. albedo feature A dark or light marking on the surface of an object that might not be a geological or topographical feature. allocthonous (1) Material that is formed or introduced from somewhere other than the place it is presently found.

Extractions: J.C. Adams is the brother of W.G. Adams and was born on the 5. June 1819 in Laneast near Launceston, Cornwall. He was fellow of the Pembroke College in Cambridge, Member of the Royal Society, President of the Royal Astronomical Society and Director of the observatory in Cambridge. He published several papers, including one on the irregularities in the motion of Uranus, from which he predicted (in 1846) the existence of another planet. This planet was found by J. G. Galle in 1846, based on independent calculations by U.J.J. LeVerrier. Adams had sent his calculations to Airy. Adams also observed and calculated the orbit of comet 1864 I and the orbital elements of the Leonid meteor swarm. J. C. Adams died on the 22. January 1892 in London. A Moon and a martian crater is named Adams in his honor as well as minor planet (1996) Adams. In addition, the outermost ring of planet Neptune is named 'Adams Ring'. Reference(s):

Extractions: Astrónomo Autodidacta. John Couch Adams nació el 5 de junio de 1819 en Laneast, Cornwall, Inglaterra. Desde muy temprana edad mostró habilidades excepcionales para la matemática. Siendo aún adolescente se intereso en las astronomía y cuando tenía 16 años realizó cálculos para determinar cuando un eclipse sería visto desde Lidcot donde residía un hermano suyo. Estudió en el St John's College, Cambridge. En 1841 comenzó a investigar las irregularidades observadas en el movimiento de Urano , en 1845 Adams dio una muy aproximada posición de un planeta nuevo que sería la causa de dichas irregularidades a James Challis , director del Observatorio de Cambridge. Sin embargo, esta institución no se interesó por esta teoría lo que permitió a Urbain Le Verrier publicara sus cálculos que de hecho habían sido realizados con posterioridad; fueron estos los que finalmente condujeron al descubrimiento de Neptuno el 23 de Septiembre de 1846 por Johann Gottfried Galle en el Observatorio de Berlín.

A modern-day link with the astronomical sophistication of the ancient Celts, John Couch Adams was the first observer since Copernicus to fundamentally revise our view of the solar system, breaking out of the classical seven-planet concept and pioneering the way to the ongoing search for other planets in the universe.

Im Jahre 1998 entdeckte Briefe lassen erkennen, dass die Berechnungen Adams' unzuverl¤ssig waren, so dass die Astronomen in Cambridge wochenlang an den falschen Positionen nach dem Planeten suchten. Adams selbst hatte seine Resultate nie als vertrauensw¼rdig bezeichnet. Die Akten zu Adams' Berechnungen wurden offenkundig seit 1850 unterdr¼ckt.

Extractions: Over the century after the discovery, all five of the main authors who told the story between 1852 and 1947 were at some stage RAS presidents: Glaisher, Turner, Sampson, Smart and Spencer-Jones . Adams had twice been president. Naturally, they were all cantabs, all but one being from Trinity or John's College ( see:" A Cantab. clique?" Glaisher studied at Trinity college, Cambridge, was on the Greenwich staff from the 1830s to the 1870s, attained eminence in astronomy and mathematics, knew both Airy and Adams, and was offered but declined the post of Astronomer Royal after Airy. He had originally been an assistant to Airy in Cambridge. RAS President 1886-8 and 1901-3. 1904 Astronomical Discovery Herbert Turner.

Extractions: In January of 1846 there appeared 'a phenomenon which struck every astronomer with amazement' to quote Herschel: a comet divided into two (Herschel, Outlines of Astronomy, 1849, p.359). Such a thing was hitherto unheard-of and created a sensation. But quickly Adams, as his diary records for March 9th, 1846: - he does not walk to the Observatory to meet Challis, as one might expect. (Challis was then living at the Observatory, as the Plumean astronomy professor there, while Adams lived at St John's College a mile or so away). He reports on his work to Challis, Challis comes round to his house, and he stays at the Observatory 'till late'. On March 19th, he is

He is the author of The Victorian Internet and has written for Wired, the Guardian, the Indipendent and the Daily Telegraph. He is married and lives in Greenwich. Penguin Books: The Neptune File As said, a lot has been written about the Neptune affair but until now nothing so even-handed as Tom Standages new book. There is something to be said for a well-informed science journalist writing an unbiased account of a rather specialized subject for what I assume is a general readership. His Neptune story is well presented and the scientific-political intricacies of the time easily followed. Tom Standage hits the nail squarely on the head in describing an unfortunate episode that could have gone in favour of UK astronomy, but didnt. It was, nevertheless, a supreme example of computational dexterity on both sides of the Channel and Standage describes the situation with paramount skill. Couch Adams wouldnt say boo to a goose but Le Verrier didnt hide his light behind anybodys bushel. Both calculated the position of the unseen planet with remarkable accuracy but were beholden to the telescopists to find it for them.

Extractions: John Couch Adams Ci crederesti ? Couch è uno degli oltre 300 matematici ai quali è stato dedicato il nome di un cratere lunare. John Couch Adams diede molti altri contributi all'astronomia. Per esempio studiò la pioggia meteorica delle Leonidi e concluse correttamente che la pioggia fosse il risultato del passaggio della Terra, una volta l'anno, attraverso i detriti lasciati da una cometa. Adams insegnò matematica a Cambridge e alla fine divenne anche direttore dell'Osservatorio di Cambridge. Rifiutò il titolo di cavaliere offertogli dalla regina Vittoria in riconoscimento delle sue scoperte. Adams non gradiva gli obblighi imposti da questo titolo, e non riteneva di avere abbastanza denaro per mantenere lo stile di vita di un cavaliere. Morì a Cambridge nel 1892. Adams e sua moglie sono sepolti insieme a Cambridge, sotto una croce di granito. Tre anni dopo la sua morte, ad Adams fu dedicata una targa funebre nell'Abbazia di Westminster, vicino a quella dedicata a Sir Isaac Newton, un altro brillante matematico inglese. Quale strumento usò John Couch Adams per studiare la presenza di un nuovo pianeta oltre Urano ?
