It was this close on the sky to Le Verrier's predicted location.

勒威耶的预测位置离天空如此之近。

When astronomers pointed their telescopes toward where Verrier predicted, there it was.

当天文学家将他们的望远镜指向 Verrier 预测的地方时，它就在那里。

Amazingly, another mathematician, Englishman John Couch Adams, had also worked on the math and had made a similar prediction — but Le Verrier beat him by two days. Two. Days.

令人惊讶的是，另一位数学家，英国人约翰·库奇·亚当斯也做了同样的计算，并做出了类似的预测——但勒维耶比他早了两天。就两天。

We are not going to match Le Verrier's " make a prediction, have the planet found in a single night that close to where you predicted it" record.

我们不会达到 Le Verrier 的“做出预测，在一个晚上就发现这颗行星与你预测的位置接近” 的记录。

The story of prediction and discrepancy and new theory and triumphant discoveries is so classic and Le Verrier became so famous from it, that people tried to get in on the act right away.

预言与偏差、新理论和胜利发现的故事是如此经典，勒威耶也因此而声名鹊起，以至于人们试图立即参与其中。
