Can you name a scientist that studied Neptune?

William Herschel discovered Neptune in 1781 according to "Foundations of Astronomy" by Michael Seeds. That was the Astronomy textbook I used for a college class in 1999 or 2000 or so.\n\nNeptune had been seen with telescopes much earlier than that date but according to my sources it was erronously considered as a star. Further researching would include Hipparchus "Alghemest", Ptolemly, and Coprenicus to be sure that is the case.

I'm sure many of the famous astronomers before him like Edwin Hubble, Harlow Shapley, James Jeans (mentioned by person in an interview) where all important to his work.  Check out some of his papers in the Astrophysical Journal or the Astronomical Jounal and check who the references are.

Neptune is a balmy 218 below...Celsius. As far as living there consider this:\n\na) Neptune is a gas planet, with no solid surface. We'd fall right through.\nb) We'd freeze.\nc) There is nothing for us to breathe there.\n\nThat's just the beginning of that list. The answer is no.

John Harrison developed longitude.\n\nLatitude is a bit more difficult to determine and is mostly about mathematics but I believe mathematician Karl Gauss had something to do with it. But you should research that some more.

Like a lot of things in science, it is hard to say exactly who first came up with this idea. \n\nHowever, probably the best contender is Professor Harry Hess of Princeton University. Hess noticed that the sediment near the mid-ocean ridges was much thinner, as though the sea floor there was newer than it was farther from the ridges. \n\nHowever, there are many others who played a part in solving this puzzle. Alfred Wegner, a German meterologist, is often credited with first proposing the theory of plate tectonics. Wegner noticed that the coastlines of South America and Africa fit together like pieces of a puzzle, but Francis Bacon, Benjamin Franklin, Antonio Snider-Pellegrini and others had noticed this before. Vine and Mathews observed the magnetic stripes on the sea floor, confirming Hess' theory.

A sicily born mathematician/physicist.\n\nArchimedes (Greek: Αρχιμήδης ) (c. 287 BC–212 BC) was an ancient Sicilian mathematician, physicist, engineer, astronomer and philosopher born in the seaport colony of Syracuse. He is considered by some historians of mathematics to be one of the greatest mathematicians in antiquity; Carl Friedrich Gauss considered him one of the two greatest ever.\n\nWell known for proposing Archimedes principle related to relative density of object and floatation. When he found the truth about relative density.. it is said that, he ran out of the bath yelling at the top of his voice -- "Eureka, eurteka" -- meaning I found it i found it.

Try Oceanographer or Marine Biologist!

How about Madame Curie...would that be helpful? I was going to suggest Charles Darwin, but noticed someone already answered...

Probably not much on the planet itself.  Neptune is a gas giant, meaning it does not have a surface, not to mention it is covered with horrible wind storms like the Great Blue Spot.  We could launch probes into Neptune and recieve a signal until the pressure and winds destroyed it.  In the distant future, we may be able to colonize the rocky moons of Neptune, or build orbiting cities above it (again they would have to be in orbit because of the lack of a surface).

There are nuclear physicists working for NASA.  NASA has a program called Prometheus to design and build nuclear powered propulsion systems.

Neptune is blue. That is why it is called Neptune too. It is because Neptune is a name of the god who rules the sea. Infact some thought that it has a sea

Neptune: my favorite planet!\n\nYou have great tastes in planets my friend.  I will gladly help you out.  \n\nNeptune is about 49500 kilometers. in diameter, about four times the size of Earth, which is about 12800 kilometers. in diameter. Neptune and Uranus are almost the same size, but both seem tiny in comparison to mighty Jupiter, which is almost three times as large as either of them. \n\nAlso, At the center, there is a large rocky core about the size of earth, one of the largest cores of the planets.\n\nEnjoy!\n\nThank you for making this question!

You can find the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune :P\nat a distance of 50 AU from the SUN.

Marie Curie; Hedy Lamarr; Hypatia\n\nThere are others.  Your best bet is to search for them on google.

John Bahcall and Ray Davis first proposed astrophysical neutrino detection as a feasible experiment.\n\nDavis pioneered neutrino detection techniques in the early 60's \n\n\nReines led the first effort that detect natural neutrinos.  The first solar neutrino experiment was in the South Dakota Homestake mine. \n\nThe effort led by Ray Davis firmly documented the solar neutrino deficit, which in the end turned out to be simply because we did not fully understand neutrinos (they have a finite rest mass and can oscillate between neutrino types, so neutrinos created in the sun are not what we might expect by the time they reach earth.)\n\nDavis eventually won the Nobel Prize in 2002 for this work. He died this year.

Is it possible the answer is Gene Roddenberry...lol
