On this month’s Science Sparring Society we bring to you a battle as a big as a planet, oops a fight over a planet. Neptune was first discovered by Johann Galle and Heinrich d’Arrest based on predictions by Urbain Le Verrier, but the English could not deal with the Germans and the French getting credit so they put forth their own champion John Couch Adams to try to grab some of the credit.
