  Johann Elert Bode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johann Elert Bode (January 19, 1747 – November 23, 1826) was a German astronomer known for his reformulation and popularization of the Titius-Bode law as well as his works to determine the orbit of Uranus, for which he also suggested the name.
Bode was the director of the Berlin Observatory, where he published the Uranographia in 1801, a celestial atlas that aimed both at scientific accuracy in showing the positions of stars and other astronomical objects, as well as the artistic interpretation of the stellar constellation figures.
Bode was born in Hamburg and died in Berlin aged 79, November 23, 1826.

 Titius-Bode Law
Johann Elert Bode was born on January 19, 1747 in Hamburg, Germany.
Bode was greatly interested in the new planet discovered by William Herschel in March 1781.
Bode collected virtually all observations of this planet by various astronomers, published many of them in the Astronomisches Jahrbuch, and found that Uranus had been observed before its discovery on a number of occasions, among them an observation of Tobias Mayer from 1756 and earliest by Flamsteed, in December 1690, cataloged as "star" 34 Tauri.

 Bode, Johann Elert (1747-1826)
Bode founded the Berliner Astronomisches Jahrbuch (Astronomic Yearbook of Berlin) in 1774, and went on to compile and issue 51 yearly volumes of it.
Bode enthusiastically endorsed an extreme form of pluralism and natural theology.
Bode was among the earliest advocates of the much wider cosmos, with its "island universes" (external galaxies), envisaged by Immanuel Kant and William Herschel.

 AllRefer.com - Bode's law (Astronomy, General) - Encyclopedia
Bode's law [for J. Bode], also known as Titius's law or the Titius-Bode law, empirical relationship between the mean distances of the planets from the sun.
Some theories of the origin of the solar system have tried to explain the apparent regularity in the mean orbital distances of the planets, arguing that it could not arise by chance, but must be a manifestation of the laws of physics.
However, since Bode's law is not a law in the usual scientific sense, i.e., it is not universal and invariant, it alone should not be taken as evidence for such a conclusion.

(R. B.) BODE, JOHANN ELERT (17471826), German astronomer, was born at Hamburg on the f 9th of January 1747.
Devoted to astronomy from his earliest years, he eagerly observed theheavens at a garret window with a telescope made by himself,and at nineteen began his career with the publication of a shortwork on the solar eclipse of the 5th of August 1766.
He gave currency, moreover, to the empirical rule known as Bodes Law, which was actually announced by Johann Daniel Titiusof Wittenberg in 1772.

 "Bode's" " Law"
Bode's law, better called the Bode-Titius Rule, was first published by Johann Daniel Titius, but did not become well known until it was republished by Johann Elert Bode.
Uranus[2] was discovered after Bode's publication, but the rule likely played no role in that discovery.
Neptune was first seen by Johann Galle in 1846, but credit for its discovery is given to Urbain Leverrier who predicted its position and told Galle where to look.

 Neptune: History: Britannica   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In 1766 Johann Daniel Titius of Germany noted that the then-known planets formed an orderly progression in distance from the Sun that could be expressed as a simple mathematical equation.
The astronomer Johann Elert Bode, also of Germany, published the law in 1772 in a popular introductory astronomy book, proposing that the missing 3 in the progression might indicate that a planet between Mars and Jupiter remained to be discovered.
It is interesting to note that Bode's law, which played a significant role in the search for additional planets, was finally laid to rest by the discovery of Neptune.

Celestial map from a famous and influential work by Johann Bode entitled Uranographia, which some consider the last great celestial atlas ever produced, unique both for the large size of the plates--the largest ever produced at the time--and for the inclusion of 2,500 nebulae catalogued by the astronomer William Herschel in the late 1700s.
Uranographia was published in Berlin in 1801 by German astronomer Johann Elert Bode, who was the astronomer of the Academy of Science in Berlin and director of the Berlin Observatory.
