Scientific paper

A history of two-body resonance captures of planetesimals in the solar nebula is advanced as an explanation for the currently nearly resonant orbital periods of the planets. This implies a sequential occurrence of planetary formation which begins with Jupiter for the outer planets and with Venus for the inner ones, with outward propagation thenceforth under the influence of two-body orbital resonances. Attention is given to the reconstruction of the evolutionary history of the planets, beginning with nearly commensurable orbital periods; this will furnish an explanation for the Titius-Bode law.
