What scientist discovered Neptune?
The astronomer Galle, assisted by d'Arrest, discovered Neptune. Credit is also given to Adams and Le Verrier. They were mathematicians who predicted the position of Neptune. Le Verrier persuaded astronomers to search for the new planet.
Is there water on Neptune?
No. There is no water on Neptune. Neptune is a gas giant, which means it is made of gasses and has no solid surface. With no surface it is impossible for water to form. The blue is caused by methane gasses in Neptune's atmosphere reflecting back the blue light spectrum from the dim sunlight that reaches the planet, giving the appearance through our telescopes that Neptune is blue. But whether Neptune really is blue or whether it's entirely an illusion caused by light reflections is an open debate.
Who is credited for discovering Neptune?
Galileo, although he had no idea he had found a new planet, and did not note it as such, and is therefore, not credited. Neptune was predicted mathematically by a French astronomer, Urbain Le Verrier. Two observers at the Berlin observatory found Neptune within 1 degree of where Le Verrier said it should be.
What prompted the astronomers to look for neptune?
They discovered Neptune in 1846, by examining the orbits of the other gas giant planets, particulary Uranus. Its slight deviation in orbit was as a result of neptunes gravitational effect.
What made the scientist think that Neptune must exist?
Go to Google and search solar system webquest, and the answer should be on the first one. Then when you get on the site there should be pictures of each planet. Then click Neptune, and it practically tells you everything important about Neptune.

Why do astronomers search for them and monitor their positions?
We can not answer your question because, stupidly, you have not told us what "them" are.
How did Neptune the planet get its name?
After the discovery of Neptune, as a planet (Galileo observed Neptune in 1612 and 1613, but thought it to be a star), it was often referred to as "The Planet Exterior to Uranus" and "Le Verrier's Planet" (in reference to Urbain Le Verrier, who predicted Neptune's position within one degree). Johann Gottfried Galle, one of the astronomers who took part in the search for Neptune, proposed that Neptune be named Janus. James Challis, another such astronomer, suggested the name Oceanus. In the end it was Le Verrier who suggested the name Neptune, although there were many complications before the name was finally accepted.

When was the moon discovered by astronomers?
I don't know but type it in on google search and keep looking it is much easier!
What materials are neede to figure out how craters produce?
To fully understand how craters are produced, I suggest you ask an expert. Astronomers could provide you with the answers you seek. However, astronomers don't seem to connect to answers.com, so you should search elsewhere to get the answer to your question. To get started, you should use a reliable search engine, such as Google.com to find out more about astrology and astronomers. I hope you find what you're looking for.
Which are characteristics of a search area?
have berms to mitigate blast effects, be obscured by camouflage, and obstruct observation of search area from outside the installation.

What qualifications do you need to become a physicist?
Good observation. Not having a biased mind. Constant Search.
