Local man John Couch Adams co-discovered the planet Neptune in 1845. It had been suggested that the movement of Uranus was being affected by another, as yet undiscovered, planet.
Adams worked on the problem of Uranus using only mathematical calculations. He confirmed his theory and deduced the position of the new planet.
