The Neptune File by Tom Standage
The author draws on recently discovered documents to reveal how two planet detectives pioneered a new way of seeing into space. He tells the dramatic story of the Cornish mathematician John Couch Adams and his discovery of the planet Neptune in 1845, remarkable because he did not use a telescope.
