John Couch Adams
John Couch Adams was a British mathematician and astronomer who independently calculated the position of Neptune around the same time as Urbain Le Verrier. Despite his contributions, his findings were overshadowed by the confirmation of Neptune by Galle and d'Arrest, highlighting the competitive nature of astronomical discovery in the 19th century.
