In times immemorial, between Mars and Jupiter, there was another planet split into parts as a result of some kind of cataclysm. Now in the place of its former orbit there is a belt of asteroids. The echoes of that cosmic catastrophe have been preserved in the traditions of many peoples, in particular in the ancient Greek myth of Phaeton. Many scientists, ufologists, esotericists, science fiction writers believe that a highly developed civilization flourished on Phaeton.
Hunting for asteroids
Since ancient times, astronomers have wondered why the distance between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter is so great. By all accounts, there must be another planet. Johannes Kepler put forward this hypothesis in the 17th century. And 100 years after it, German astronomers Johann Daniel Titius and Johanne Ehlert Bode found a regularity in the arrangement of the planets of the solar system and proposed a simple rule that makes it easy to determine the distance of any of them to the Sun.
