 Titius-Bode law   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The Titius-Bode law (or Bode's law) is the observation that orbits of planets in the solar system closely follow a simple geometric rule.
It was discovered in 1766 by Johann Daniel Titius and "published" (without attribution) in 1772 by Johann Elert Bode, thus the name.
Bode's law was then widely accepted until Neptune was discovered (in 1846) and found not to satisfy it.

 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.

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.
Bode is also known for devising a formula to express the relative distances of the planets in our solar system from the sun, which is known as Bode's Law.

Some of the constellations included by Bode “were politically motivated, such as Cor Caroli (for Charles II), and Sceptrum Brandenburgicum (for Frederic William III).
As if these were not sufficient, Bode added five more: Felis (the cat of the French astronomer Lalande), Globus Aerostaticus (in honor of the Montgolfier brothers), Lochium Funis (a nautical log line), Machina Electrica, and Officina Typographica (in honor of the 350th anniversary of the invention of movable type).” — Celestial Images, p.
