    I once had an idea for a testable hypothesis for why Bode's Law might appear to work for the innermost planets. It was during a 3rd year celestial mechanics course when I learned the general solution to the 3 or more body problem in Newtonian mechanics could not be solved. (Einsteinian mechanics are even worse because the general 2 body problem could not be solved.) We studied a restricted three body problem where the main body was far more massive than the second and the third body was of negligible mass. The solution to that problem leads to the calculation of the 5 Lagrange positions of equal gravitation. The James Webb Telescope currently occupies L3.
    Bode's Law might be a metastable solution for the many objects which form our Solar System. Uranus does not fit well and Neptune is way off because these planets have not orbited enough times to achieve their positions of metastability. Saturn, the last planet which follows Bode's Law has completed 150 million orbits while Neptune only 26 million orbits. My hypothesis at the time had the benefit of being impossible to disprove at the time because the computing power necessary to run the simulation did not exist in 1973. It does now and anyone who wants to should feel free to prove me wrong.

    my son Is in Aerospace. He and his group put up a mirco satellite to study plasma pulse engines. people have NO CONCEPT of how much crap they have to do to get something in space. legally. mechanically. financially. their satellite was the size of a boot box. the actual engine was the size of a lawn mower. they had to prove, once launched. tested and studied, it would fall out of orbit and burn up in the atmosphere. $20,000. burned up. and it could stay in orbit for no more that 2 months. cant tell you about what the found out about it, but they were extremely happy. $20k worth every dime. people say "nasa canceled the probe" like it was a personal slight to them. no. nasa has (for example) $100M to spend. they tell people to submit their proposals. the one that can show the most bang for the buck, usually wins. the rest have to regroup and try again. When you have $30k to spend on a car. you may want the Lambo, Ferrari and Mercedes. but you are gonna get a used mustang. sorry.

      Yeah but NASA DID cancel it. It wasn't a hypothetical design build, a proof of concept or a bid. The design was already approved, the probe was already being built and the mission was already planned.

    Considering I've long known both facts, I can't believe it's only just hit me: The discoverer of Uranus also gave as[s]teroids their name!
    The only thing that kinda ruins it of course is that Herschel actually wanted to call it George, after his patron George IV. (Hey, the guy knew which side his bread was buttered on!) The name that gained currency in the literature and eventually stuck came from a pair of Germans who had no idea what it sounded like in English.

      1. The name stuck as the rest of the planets are named after the Roman pantheon.

      Don't really know why it would annoy you, the Romans are of Greek decent, had Latin names for their gods, eventually came back across Greece and realised their pantheon of Gods were exactly the same only with different names.

    Very long time ago there was another planet in our solar system between Mars and Jupiter on which (giant) humans lived. They too invented nuclear power, but in a war they misused that nuclear power and the planet was destroyed. Only the four moons of that planet survived the destruction. Ceres is one of those four moons. The asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is the visible remaining part of that destruction. The name of that planet was Mallona, Mallona means 'broken planet'. To the old Greeks Mallona was known as Phaeton. You can find more information about that in the books of Jakob Lorber (1800 - 1864) and Leopold Engel (1858 -1931).
