First Neptunian birthday
It's been 1 year since the discovery of Neptune!
One Neptunian year, that is. (1 NY = 164.79 Earth years.)

Therefore: we did not have observable proof that Neptune orbited the sun, until JUST NOW TODAY.

We still don't!
'Heliocentrism' is just a theory, there are other equally valid theories to account for the movement of Neptune, like Plato's 'Crystalline Sphere' model.
