Book review: The Neptune File: A Story of Astronomical Rivalry and the Pioneers of Planet Hunting by Tom Standage
Rating: 3 out of 5
After having read and enjoyed The Victorian Internet I thought I’d give The Neptune File a read. An interesting book, on an interesting subject - primarily about the people and process of using maths to predict the positioning of an unknown planet.
The end of the book wasn’t so interesting, falling into the “is Pluto a planet” debate before briefly covering the newer, more technologically advanced methods of planet hunting.
