Three Musketeers of the Solar System
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
.
.
In the 1840s,
John Adams, Urbain Le Verrier
and Johann Gale discovered
the eighth planet from the Sun.
.
They were a kind of musketeers
of the solar system,
successors to Athos,
Aramis and Porthos,
and perhaps a kind of d’Artagnan
was even the planet Neptune!
