Scientific paper

THE idea that the asteroids are fragments of an exploded planet was first put forward by Olbers more than 150 yr ago and has since been widely accepted. Recently Ovenden1, in an attempt to account for Bode's Law, has argued persuasively that a planet of 90 M⊚ vanished between Mars and Jupiter some 16 m.y. ago. According to this point of view the asteroids are remnants of this event.
