It was this close on the sky to Le Verrier's predicted location.

勒威耶的预测位置离天空如此之近。

Amazingly, another mathematician, Englishman John Couch Adams, had also worked on the math and had made a similar prediction — but Le Verrier beat him by two days. Two. Days.

令人惊讶的是，另一位数学家，英国人约翰·库奇·亚当斯也做了同样的计算，并做出了类似的预测——但勒维耶比他早了两天。就两天。

The French mathematician Urbain Le Verrier concluded that this was due to an unseen planet, and was able to use the mathematics of orbital mechanics to predict where the new planet would be.

法国数学家乌尔班·勒维耶(Urbain Le Verrier)的结论是，这是由一颗看不见的行星造成的，且能够利用轨道力学的数学原理来预测这颗新行星的位置。

Three years later, in 1846, French mathematician Urbain le Verrier made his own calculations and convinced German astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle to search for the undiscovered planet, which he spotted on September 23,1846.

三年后，也就是1846年，法国数学家勒维耶独自完成测算，并说服德国天文学家伽勒搜寻该未知行星，1846年9月23日，伽勒发现了该行星。

(Laughter) But in 1846, another French astronomer, Urbain Le Verrier, worked through the math and figured out how to predict the location of the planet.

（笑声） 但是在 1846 年，另一位法国天文学家 Urbain Le Verrier 通过数学计算得出了预测行星位置的方法。

We are not going to match Le Verrier's " make a prediction, have the planet found in a single night that close to where you predicted it" record.

我们不会达到 Le Verrier 的“做出预测，在一个晚上就发现这颗行星与你预测的位置接近” 的记录。

The story of prediction and discrepancy and new theory and triumphant discoveries is so classic and Le Verrier became so famous from it, that people tried to get in on the act right away.

预言与偏差、新理论和胜利发现的故事是如此经典，勒威耶也因此而声名鹊起，以至于人们试图立即参与其中。

In 1846, French mathematician Urbain Le Verrier, or something like that, noticed aberrations in the orbit of Uranus, and applying what he knew about physics, concluded there had to be another planet nearby that was changing its path.

1846 年， 法国数学家乌尔班·勒维耶 (Urbain Le Verrier) 或类似人物注意到天王星轨道的异常，并运用他对物理学的了解， 得出结论，附近一定有另一颗行星正在改变其轨道。
