John Couch Adams Can you believe it? Couch is one of over 300 mathematicians that have a lunar crater named after them. John Couch Adams made many other contributions to our knowledge of astronomy. For example, he studied the Leonid meteor shower and correctly concluded that the shower was the result of a comet passing close to Earth once a year. Adams was a mathematics professor at Cambridge and eventually became director of the Cambridge Observatory. He refused a knighthood offered by Queen Victoria to honor him for his accomplishments. Adams did not want the extra attention nor did he feel he had the money to maintain the lifestyle of a knight. He died in 1892 in Cambridge. Adams and his wife are buried under a 70 foot high granite cross in Cambridge. Three years after his death, he was honored with a memorial tablet in Westminster Abbey. The tablet is near the tablet that honors Sir Isaac Newton, another brilliant English mathematician. A Question What instrument did John Couch Adams use to investigate the presence of a new planet beyond Uranus? Did you know?

11. John Couch Adams John Couch Adams (18191992). English astronomer who mathematically deduced the existence of the planet Neptune 1845 from the effects http://astroinfo.port5.com/a/john_couch_adams.html

John Couch Adams English astronomer who mathematically deduced the existence of the planet Neptune 1845 from the effects of its gravitational pull on the motion of Uranus, although it was not found until 1846 by J G Galle. Adams also studied the Moon's motion, the Leonid meteors, and terrestrial magnetism. Adams was born in Landeast, Cornwall, and educated at Cambridge, where he spent virtually his entire career. He became professor 1858 and director of the observatory 1860. The calculations to account for certain aberrations in the orbit of Uranus were taken up independently by Adams and French astronomer Urbain Leverrier. By 1845 Adams had determined the position and certain characteristics of the hypothetical planet affecting the orbit, but a search for the new planet was not instigated for nearly a year at Cambridge. Meanwhile, Leverrier sent his figure to Galle at the Berlin Observatory, and Galle, having better maps, was able to find the planet within a few hours. The discovery of Neptune was credited to Leverrier.

JOHN COUCH ADAMS anglický astronom Planeta Uran, objevená W. Herschelem r. 1781 pùsobila tìžkosti. Nechtìla obíhat po dráze, kterou jí hvìzdáøi propoèítali. Mladý Anglièan Adams zaèal už na studiích uvažovat o tom, zda by na její dráhu nemohla pùsobit planeta obíhající po dráze asi dvakrát vìtší než je dráha Uranu. V letech 1843 - 1845 svou myšlenku podložil propoèty a dopisem to oznámil øediteli greenwichské hvìzdárny. S ovìøením Adamsových pøedpokladù však v Greenwichi nepospíchali. Anglie tak pøišla o velký objev ... V roce 1845 propoèítal dráhu nové planety podobným zpùsobem Leverrier a podle tìchto výpoètù objevil Galle roku 1846 v blízkosti teoreticky udaného místa planetu Neptun. Nakonec byl spor mezi Anglií a Francií v otázce prvenství rozøešen tak, že byl uznán obìma. Adams v roce 1866 ukázal, že meteorický roj Leonid souvisí s drahou komety. Preciznì studoval pohyb Mìsíce a zemský magnetismus. ZPÌT
