The '''Titius-Bode Law''' states that the distances of the major satellites of the [[Sun]] follow a definite exponential pattern. It was, until the discovery of [[Neptune]], held to be a valid predictor of the positions of the [[planet]]s. Neptune is perhaps the only exception to this law among the eleven planetary and [[dwarf planet]]ary bodies in the [[solar system]], but that one exception has convinced mainstream [[Astronomy|astronomers]] to reject the law as invalid. But a small number of contrarian astronomers, including at least one creationist, now suggest that the law ought to stand after all.
