Bodes Law

Bode said that all the planets were located in space at a regularly predictable interval (d=v+4 divided by 10). Predicts the spacing of the planets in the Solar System. Distances are calculated in Astronomy Units (AU). Uranus was discoverd using Bodes Law.
Planet 1=Mercury
v=0
d=0.4(AU)
d=0.39

Scientists have used Bodes Law through the centuries and have been succesful.
