Johann Gottfried Galle famous quotes

Sir,-The Planet [Neptune] whose position you marked out actually exists. On the day on which your letter reached me, I found a star of the eighth magnitude, which was not recorded in the excellent map designed by Dr. Bremiker, containing the twenty-first hour of the collection published by the Royal Academy of Berlin. The observation of the succeeding day showed it to be the Planet of which we were in quest.
-- Johann Gottfried Galle

Sometimes it is better to work out the map for yourself rather than have it given to you, in terms of learning.
