Scientific paper

IN the year 1778-just a hundred years ago-the astronomer Bode published an approximation to a law respecting the planetary distances. He took the numbers 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 192, 384, each after the second being double the preceding; to these he added 4, giving 4, 7, 10, 16, 28, 52, 100, 196, 388, numbers which, with the exception of the last, agree very well with the distances of the planets from the sun:-3.8, 7.2, 10, 15.2, (27), 52, 95.3, 191.8 300.3.
