Today\u2019s \u2018guest\u2019 is the planet Neptune.  I\u2019m telling the story of the discovery of Neptune 180 years ago in September, 1846. It was initially identified using mathematics rather than a telescope. This is a story of missed opportunities, undisclosed data, a bit of professional rivalry, and a controversy that some still argue today.    H\u2019ad astra historia is the official podcast for the Historical Astronomy Division of the American Astronomical Society.  We\u2019re here to share stories from and about the people who study the stars, planets, and the cosmos.  We\u2019ll be hearing from individuals who not only study the history of astronomy, but also those who lived it, who were \u201cin the room\u201d during pivotal events within the last 50 years or so.     podcast theme music: "Frost Waltz" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under creative commons: by attribution 4.0 license (http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/)    Loretta Cannon (an AAS affiliate via Rose City Astronomers) is a science-and-word-nerd who really likes outer space and the people who study it.  She quite enjoys working as HAD\u2019s podcaster, sharing astronomy stories to you.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
