MIND THE GAP

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the intersection of mathematics and astronomy, this book explores the history of planetary orbit spacing, starting from ancient Greek philosophers to contemporary studies of exoplanets. It examines how mathematical theories have helped to organize our understanding of the solar system, with particular emphasis on the Titius-Bode rule, a historical principle lacking a physical basis. The narrative highlights the evolution of thought in planetary astronomy and the ongoing quest for knowledge in the field.
