Join NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador Mike Hotka for this special presentation about the historic discovery of the planet Neptune. This discussion will examine the European astronomical mindset of the time and the incredible, independent work of two mathematicians that lead to the ultimate discovery of Neptune. This is a fascinating story of ignorance and triumph that will leave you with a wonderful tale of exploration.
