Scientific paper

In this work the validity of the Titius-Bode law is assessed by comparing the closeness of fit of semi-random, computer-generated distance distributions to that of the actual distribution. The sample distributions are semi-random in that they are drawn from a population which obeys the "law of increasing differences", expressing the fact that the separations between planets increase, moving outward from the Sun. The authors consider the solar system excluding Pluto, whose orbit is very irregular, and two further abridged systems, lacking Mercury and/or Neptune. They also apply the analysis to the regular satellites of the giant planets. The results are not favourable to Bode's law.
