Chapter 383 There is a sun in the solar system? What a coincidence!
The sky continues.

【After the discovery of Uranus. 】

[People turned around and enthusiastically searched for the fifth planet in the solar system, located between Mars and Jupiter.]

【Because according to the law. 】

[There should be a fifth planet in that position, but for some reason it has never been observed.]

[Whoever can observe the fifth planet in the solar system will become a figure in the history of astronomy. ]

[Not long after, a new planet was discovered at about 2.8 astronomical units.]

This planet is smaller and dimmer.

【Named Ceres.】

[So people began to discuss whether the newly discovered Ceres is the fifth planet in the solar system? ]

【However, with the advancement of observation methods. 】

[In the next few years, people discovered many asteroids in this area, including Ceres, Pallas, Juno, Vesta, etc.]

【It was not until then that people gradually realized it. 】

[Ceres and other planets in the same orbital region around it. ]

They are not large planets in the traditional sense.

【It is a new category called asteroid. 】

[This area is the asteroid belt.]

[The asteroid belt is densely packed with millions of asteroids, rocks, and so on of varying sizes. ]

[So there is a speculation that there is actually a large planet in the asteroid belt. ]

[It's just that for some reason, the large planets here were torn apart by Jupiter's gravity. ]

【Or an impact from outer space. 】

[It broke into countless small pieces, forming today's asteroid belt.]

[There is also a theory that a real large planet has not yet formed in the asteroid belt that was originally in the orbit of the fifth planet.]

【It’s over.】

[Especially in the asteroid belt, the total mass of all the broken rocks added up is less than 5% of the mass of the moon.]

So little quality.

[Even if all of them merged, they could not form a large planet in the traditional sense. ]

[But everyone estimates that there was originally enough material in the asteroid belt. ]

[It’s just that these materials were thrown to the far end of the solar system for some reason. ]

【The result is that there is too little material in the asteroid belt. 】

[Ultimately, it is impossible to form a large planet. ]

[Although people have not found any qualified large planets in the asteroid belt.

[But there are many asteroids, rock fragments, etc. ]

[It is sufficient to prove that the area around the orbit of 2.8 AU is a planet incubation area.]

[It can also conform to Bode's law. ]

[Bode's law is a great success again! ]

[From Mercury to Uranus, including the asteroid belt, all conform to Bode's law. ]

[People also began to think that this seemingly coincidental law had no basis.]

[In fact, it is one of the basic laws of the operation of the solar system. ]

【Bode's law is increasingly recognized.】

【But then, with the further development of astronomical observation technology. 】

【Bode's law has been greatly challenged. 】

【Neptune and Pluto were discovered.】

【According to the law, the distance between Neptune and the sun should be 38.8 astronomical units. 】

[For Pluto, it should be 77.2 AU. ]

[But in reality, Neptune's orbital distance is 30.2 AU.]

[Pluto is only 39.5 AU.]

[This is very different from the law.]

【So everyone thinks that the so-called law is just a coincidence. 】【Of course, Pluto has been downgraded and it is understandable that it does not conform to Bode's law. 】

【But Bode's law has been seriously questioned. 】

[After all, the samples from the first few planets added up to less than 10, which is not enough to be trusted. ]

……

"It's just orbital resonance, no need to be surprised."

"It seems to have something to do with the gravitational interaction between the planets."

"The fewer samples, the more coincidences there are. This law is just a blind guess."

《The fifth planet is actually a dark matter planet, I am sure! 》

"Why not observe planetary systems around other stars? Compare."

"No exoplanetary system discovered so far is similar to that of our sun."

"The fifth planet may be in Jupiter's stomach. Jupiter directly ate the planet, and the remaining residue formed the asteroid belt."

"How is that possible? The big planets all go their own way, so it's hard for them to collide."

"Planetary collisions are normal. Venus rotates in the opposite direction, and Uranus rotates lying down, but they can both be hit."

“I think it’s survivor bias.”

The sky screen continued to play amid the discussion in the barrage.

Soon we arrived at the last section.

[In modern astronomy, in addition to observing the planets in the solar system, other planets and their satellite systems are also observed.]

【The results were surprising. 】

【Among some of the large planets and their satellites. 】

[There are also regular distributions similar to Bode's law. ]

【So this confirms that Bode's law is not a coincidence. 】

【It is a probability that it will be formed. 】

[It’s just that the scientific knowledge that astronomers have at present is not enough to explain it. ]

[Why does the regular distribution of planets occur more than once? ]

Tianmu also made a final summary.

[It is also unknown whether there are more similar laws in other star systems deep in the universe.]

And the ancients.

After reading this unsolved mystery of cosmic astronomy knowledge in later generations, I just found it very interesting.

After all, it is human nature to look up at the stars.

Even the dissolute and frivolous Liu He found great interest in learning these astronomical knowledge.

“It’s more relaxing to watch videos like this where you can look up at the stars and learn about the universe.”

Liu He took a sip of wine comfortably.

"This sky curtain always talks about politics and military affairs. I'm really not interested. It's annoying to watch!"

"It would be better to have more beautiful women videos."

"It would be even better if there were more food, drinks and fun, hehehe."

……

All along, every time Liu He prayed to the sky curtain to show what he wanted to see, he failed.

This made Liu He suspicious for a while.

Is it true that I am not the true dragon emperor?
I'm almost ruined anyway, so God won't respond to my prayers.

But this time.

After Liu He hoped to see the video of beautiful women eating, drinking and having fun.

On the new canopy.

There actually was a beautiful woman!
In front of the beauty,
There were also a lot of drinks.

Beautiful ladies eating, drinking and having fun!

This is exactly the type of sky screen video that Liu He likes best.

So Liu He also pulled the female attendant along and started watching with great interest.
