This engaging presentation explores some tantalizing coincidences and provides the historical perspective to put the audience in the shoes of early astronomers in their quest to discover new planets in the Solar System. Bode’s Rule reveals an interesting pattern regarding planetary orbits, but is it coincidence or is there some underlying cause/effect? You decide.
