    Extractions: John Couch Adams John Couch Adams turned down a knighthood. The honor was offered by Queen Victoria. She wanted to recognize Adams for his accomplishments. John Couch Adams was born in England in 1819. He was born to a farming family. When Adams was very young he showed a talent for doing math. He could do very difficult math problems in his head. Adams went to St. Johns College in Cambridge to study math. While a student there he used math to predict the presence of a new planet beyond Uranus. A few months after Adams made his prediction, a French astronomer also made the same prediction. The French astronomer was named Urbain Le Verrier. He wanted all of the credit for the discovery of the new planet which became known as Neptune. Most scientists now consider Adams and Le Verrier to be the co-discoverers of Neptune. Another contribution that Adams made to the world of astronomy involved the Leonid meteor shower. Adams studied the Leonid meteor shower as it occurred in 1866. He discovered it was due to a comet that comes very close to Earth once a year. Adams also studied the motion of the Moon. Adams taught math at Cambridge University. He also became the director of the Cambridge Observatory. John Couch Adams was married. He liked to study history, biology, literature, and geology. Adams died in 1892.

    Extractions: Adams, John Couch 1819-92, English astronomer, grad. St. John's College, Cambridge, 1843. By mathematical calculation based on irregularities in the motion of Uranus, he predicted the position of the then unknown planet Neptune. Because of delay in England in making a telescopic search for the planet, the credit for the discovery went to a Frenchman, Leverrier. In 1858, Adams became professor of mathematics at St. Andrews Univ., but he soon returned to Cambridge, to occupy the Lowndean chair of astronomy and geometry until his death. From 1861 he was also director of the university observatory, preferring this post to that of astronomer royal, which was offered to him in 1881. He made valuable studies of the moon's motions, of the Leonids in the great meteor shower of 1866, and of terrestrial magnetism. His collected papers, edited by his brother, were published (1896-1900) at Cambridge.

    Extractions: Made by Adams, maker to HRH Prince Albert, 36 Lombard Street, London. Number 3294. Brass mechanism in mahogany box with brass fittings. Base 17cm square, height 18cm. William Swan was Professor of Natural Philosophy in the United College of St. Andrews University from 1859 to 1880. In 1880 he compiled an extensive catalogue listing all the scientific equipment in the department, including the historic instruments. Swan's catalogue entries are meticulous, and also reveal a dry sense of humour: for example, he describes a wooden clock as, "ferociously coarse and useless." Some of the instruments he catalogued still exist today in the School of Physics and Astronomy, such as the armilliary sphere, Gregorian telescope and astrolabes. Swan's main passion was optics, especially spectroscopy. He is credited with inventing the `Swan Spectrometer', which is little known today, although Swan published numerous articles on the subject. He was awarded the Royal Scottish Society of Arts Gold Medal for his work in November 1843. As was the case with many Victorian gentlemen, Swan was interested in many diverse topics and not just his chosen speciality. From the comments in his catalogue, and his correspondence with other scientists, he appears to have been an inquisitive, witty and intelligent character, who was always keen to learn more.

    Extractions: John Couch Adams lieferte auch andere Beiträge zur Astronomie. Zum Beispiel studierte er den Metorschauer der Leoniden und erkannte, dass dieser Meteorschauer entstand, wenn die Erde einmal im Jahr die Bahn eines bestimmten Kometen kreuzte. Adams war Professor für Mathematik ader Universität von Cambridge und wurde schliesslich auch Direktor der Sternwarte von Cambridge. Als er wegen seiner Leistungen von Königin Viktoria zum Ritter geschlagen werden sollte lehnte er dies mit der Begründung ab, dass er keine Aufmerksamkeit wollte und dass er nicht genug Geld habe, um den Lebensstiel eines Adeligen führen zu können. Adams starb 1892 in Cambridge. Er und seine Frau wurden unter einem grossem Granitkreuz in Cambridge begraben. Drei jahre nach seiem Tod wurde er mit einer Gedenktafel in der Westminster Abbey geehrt. In der Nähe davon befindet sich die Gedenktafel eines anderen berühmten englischen Mathematikers: Sir Issac Newton. Welches Instrument benutzte John Couch Adams, um die Existenz eines Planeten jenseits von Uranus zu untersuchen?

    Extractions: John Couch Adams wurde 1819 in England als Sohn eines Bauern geboren. Schon als kleiner Junge zeigte er eine Begabung für Mathematik. Er konnte sehr schwere Aufgaben im Kopf ausrechnen. Adams studierte Mathematik am St. Johns College in Cambridge. Während dieser Zeit sagte er mit Hilfe mathematischer Berechnungen voraus, dass es noch einen Planeten hinter Uranus geben muss. Einige Monate später machte ein französischer Astronom die gleiche Voraussage. Dieser französische Astronom war Urbain Le Verrier. Er beanspruchte den Ruhm für die Entdeckung dieses Planeten, den wir heute Neptun nennen, für sich allein. Die meisten Wissenschaftler betrachten heute beide, Adams und Le Verrier, als Entdecker des Neptuns. Ein anderer, wichtiger Beitrag von Adams zur Astronomie bezog sich auf den Meteorstrom der Leoniden. Adams beobachtete 1866 die Leoniden und fand heraus, dass sie von einem Kometen stammten. Ausserdem untersuchte er die Bewegung des Mondes. Adams unterrichtete Mathematik an der Universität von Cambridge. Er wurde auch Direktor der Sternwarte von Cambridge. John Couch Adams war verheiratet. Er interessierte sich für Geschichte, Biologie, Literatur und Geologie. Adams starb 1892.

    Extractions: John Couch Adams Ci crederesti ? Couch è uno degli oltre 300 matematici ai quali è stato dedicato il nome di un cratere lunare. John Couch Adams diede molti altri contributi all'astronomia. Per esempio studiò la pioggia meteorica delle Leonidi e concluse correttamente che la pioggia fosse il risultato del passaggio della Terra, una volta l'anno, attraverso i detriti lasciati da una cometa. Adams insegnò matematica a Cambridge e alla fine divenne anche direttore dell'Osservatorio di Cambridge. Rifiutò il titolo di cavaliere offertogli dalla regina Vittoria in riconoscimento delle sue scoperte. Adams non gradiva gli obblighi imposti da questo titolo, e non riteneva di avere abbastanza denaro per mantenere lo stile di vita di un cavaliere. Morì a Cambridge nel 1892. Adams e sua moglie sono sepolti insieme a Cambridge, sotto una croce di granito. Tre anni dopo la sua morte, ad Adams fu dedicata una targa funebre nell'Abbazia di Westminster, vicino a quella dedicata a Sir Isaac Newton, un altro brillante matematico inglese. Quale strumento usò John Couch Adams per studiare la presenza di un nuovo pianeta oltre Urano ?

Adams studiò lo sciame delle del 1866 e scoprì che era dovuto ai resti di una cometa che si trovano molto vicini alla Terra e che essa incrocia nella sua orbita una volta l'anno.
