Title: Re: Briefly explain how Uranus and Neptune were discovered. Post by: robertling on Apr 23, 2012 Uranus was discovered with the aid of a telescope by William Herschel. Neptune was discovered when astronomers realized that Uranus was being influenced by another body as it moved around its orbit. They were thereby able to predict the precise location in the sky in which to look for Neptune, which was subsequently found by telescope.
