Document Summary
He built a huge telescope which was largest telescopes of his time. He observed a star like object which increased in size when he increased his telescope magnification. He proposed that an undiscovered planet exist between mars and jupiter. Bode showed that pla(cid:374)eta(cid:396)y dista(cid:374)(cid:272)es follo(cid:449) a (cid:374)u(cid:373)e(cid:396)i(cid:272) se(cid:395)ue(cid:374)(cid:272)e (cid:894) bode"s la(cid:449)(cid:895). A planet due to its near circular orbit around the sun. Asteroid belt: what caused adams and leverrier to suspect the existence of a planet beyond. Deviations were detected in the orbit of uranus that led to a search for perturbing planet beyond uranus.

They are not nearly as massive as jupiter and saturn but they are massive than the inner planets.
