The #TitiusBode law has been an enigma for centuries. Today it is generally considered a coincidence. But once you understand its underlying geometry, it all becomes clear: angles emphasized between planets, the #Kepler laws and even #Newton's law.

Solar System Geometry Survey

I was reminded of the old Titius-Bode law that has been used to "predict" where additional #planets could be found in known #exoplanet systems.

Of course, finding a linear correlation between planet's number and orbital distance is unphysical, it can still have empirical merit. But does it?

Apparently, the latest predictions have not even been tested because astronomers consider it waste of time.

Using the inclinations of Kepler systems to prioritize new Titius–Bode-based exoplanet predictions

Abstract. We analyse a sample of multiple-exoplanet systems which contain at least three transiting planets detected by the Kepler mission (‘Kepler multiples’).
