Synopsis
THE NEPTUNE FILE tells the dramatic story of the gifted Cornish mathematician John Couch Adams and the discovery of the planet Neptune in 1845.

More than just an enthralling historical yarn, Tom Standage's story draws on recently discovered documents to reveal how two rival planet detectives pioneered a new way of seeing into space.
