	Johann Gottfried Galle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Johann Gottfried Galle (June 9, 1812 – July 10, 1910) was a German astronomer at the Berlin Observatory who, with help from Urbain Le Verrier, sighted Neptune on September 23, 1846.
		Galle's Ph.D. thesis finished in 1845 was a reduction and critical discussion of Ole Rømer's observation of Uranus on the days from October 20 to October 23, 1706.
		It reached Galle on September 23 and in it Le Verrier asked him to look at a certain region of sky to find a predicted new planet, which would explain the perturbations of Uranus.

	The Planets - People
		After Johann Gottfried Galle confirmed the existence of Neptune based on independent calculations done by Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier, the two became embroiled in a dispute over priority.
		Galle, along with Heinrich Louis d'Arrest, made the first observation of Neptune based on calculations by Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier.
		La Verrier's prediction of the position of an undiscovered planet (Neptune) that caused perturbations in the orbit of Uranus was the first to be confirmed (by Johann Gottfried Galle).

	Galle (lunar crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Galle is a small lunar crater on the Mare Frigoris, to the north-northeast of the prominent Aristoteles crater.
		There are slight outward bulges in the rim to the north and northeast, but otherwise the formation is relatively symmetric.
		By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Galle crater.

		Galle was born in Saxony, Prussia, and educated at Berlin.
		In 1846, Galle received from Leverrier, director of the Paris Observatory, the latter's calculation of the position of a new planet, predicted mathematically from its apparent gravitational effect on Uranus, then the outermost known planet.
		Galle was also the first to distinguish the Crêpe Ring, an inner ring around Saturn, in 1838.

		Astronomers have studied Neptune since September 23, 1846, when Johann Gottfried Galle, of the Berlin Observatory, and Louis d'Arrest, an astronomy student, discovered the eighth planet on the basis of mathematical predictions by Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier.
		Scarcely a month after Galle and d'Arrest first saw Neptune, British astronomer William Lassell spotted a satellite orbiting the planet and named it Triton.
		Triton, almost the size of Earth's Moon, is the only large satellite in the solar system to circle a planet in a retrograde direction -- in a direction opposite to the rotation of the planet.

		Johann Gottfried Galle confirmed the existence of Neptune in September 1846.
		The path of the planet Uranus had deviated from its predicted course quite badly, enough so that the errors in the original calculations of its path couldn't be blamed.
		Urbain Jean Joseph LeVerrier calculated the position of the planet that it was thought was exerting a pull on Uranus to make it stray, and Galle and his student Heinrich D'Arrest used these calculations to observe Neptune.

		With a star map spread out on the table in front of him, d'Arrest was helping staff astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle test an extraordinary prediction made by French mathematician Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier.
		The story of mathematical sleuthing and telescopic detection of the planet that Le Verrier named Neptune is one of the most familiar and often told in the history of astronomy.
		Also familiar is the controversy set off when, soon after Galle announced the discovery, it emerged that a young and little-known English mathematician, John Couch Adams, had independently tackled the same problem and deduced much the same position--before Le Verrier had.

		Leverrier is best known for his work leading to the discovery of Neptune in 1846, a discovery he shares with John Couch Adams (1819-1892) and Johann Gottfried Galle (1812-1910).
		Galle and his assistant found it in their first observing session at precisely the calculated position, beating a group of English astronomers who searched slightly less diligently.
