[edit] Naming

why did he name the planet neptune? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.172.200.10 (talk • contribs).

Actually, Galle did not name the new planet. Instead, the name was proposed by Urbain Le Verrier. See the relevant section in the Neptune article. Awolf002 02:20, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
