Because of the motion of the Sun in relation to the barycentre of the Solar System, on 11 July Neptune was also not at its exact discovery position in relation to the Sun; if the more common heliocentric coordinate system is used, the discovery longitude was reached on 12 July 2011.
Akibat gerakan Matahari terhadap barisenter Tata Surya, pada 11 Juli Neptunus juga tidak berada pada posisi penemuannya terhadap Matahari; jika sistem koordinat heliosentris digunakan, garis bujur penemuannya tercapai pada 12 Juli 2011.
