More about the book

The discovery of Juno in 1804 by Karl Harding is intricately connected to Johann Bode's law of planetary distances and challenges Georg Hegel's 1801 thesis, which claimed no planets existed between Mars and Jupiter. This narrative highlights how, by 1804, the previously empty gap was populated by three celestial bodies: Ceres, Pallas, and Juno, illustrating the evolving understanding of planetary science in that era.
