Based on Lescarbault ’ s " transit ", Le Verrier computed Vulcan ’ s orbit: it supposedly revolved about the Sun in a nearly circular orbit at a distance of 21 million kilometres, or 0. 14 astronomical units.

* Attempting to explain Mercury's solar orbit, French mathematician Urbain Le Verrier proposes the existence of a hypothetical planet, Vulcan, inside its orbit and amateur astronomer Edmond Modeste Lescarbault claims to have observed it during March.

In December 1859, Le Verrier received a letter from a French physician and amateur astronomer called Edmond Modeste Lescarbault, who claimed to have seen a transit of the hypothetical planet earlier in the year.

An eminent French astronomer, Emmanuel Liais, who was working for the Brazilian government in Rio de Janeiro in 1859, claimed to have been studying the surface of the Sun with a telescope twice as powerful as Lescarbault's at the very moment that Lescarbault said he observed his mysterious transit.

Le Verrier took the train to the village of Orgères-en-Beauce, some 70 kilometres southwest of Paris, where Lescarbault had built himself a small observatory.

Shortly afterward, an amateur astronomer named Edmond Lescarbault claimed to have seen Le Verrier's proposed planet transit the Sun.

Thinking it to be a sunspot, Lescarbault was not at first surprised, but after some time had passed he realized that it was moving.

Le Verrier thought he was satisfied that Lescarbault had seen the transit of a previously unknown planet.

Lescarbault, for his part, was awarded the Légion d ' honneur and invited to appear before numerous learned societies.

What Lescarbault saw was probably another sunspot.
