Urbain Le Verrier (1811–1877) was a French mathematician and astronomer best known for his work in celestial mechanics and for predicting the existence and position of the planet Neptune. Le Verrier used mathematical calculations to analyze the perturbations in the orbit of Uranus, leading him to hypothesize the presence of another, more distant planet influencing Uranus's orbit.
