Re: BODE AND FIBONACCI

I am uncertain whether or not Bode actually made any use of the Fibonacci Series when he popularized the law of planetary positions first proposed by Johann Titius. It is a highly debatable subject that Bode's Law points to some underlying physical phenomenon or simply a coincidence.

The following WWW sites should be of interest.

• Titius-Bode's Law: Numerical Chance or Insight into Physical Phenomenon?
• Spira Solaris Archytas-Mirabilis [moderator's note: this one is fairly far away from mainstream astronomy..]
• Fibonacci Numbers
