More about the book

The narrative explores Johann Bode's law of planetary distances and its implications in astronomy, particularly through the discovery of the asteroid Juno by Karl Harding in 1804. It connects Juno's discovery to Georg Hegel's earlier thesis, which posited that no planets could exist between Mars and Jupiter. By 1804, this region was revealed to contain three celestial bodies: Ceres, Pallas, and Juno, challenging previous philosophical assumptions about planetary formation.
