Faeton (planeta)

-

Phaeton - a hypothetical planet that was supposed to exist between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Its existence assumes the Titius-Bode rule, according to which the distance of each planet in the Solar System from the Sun meets a simple arithmetic rule, so in the absence of a single planet between Mars and Jupiter.

Faeton search

Following this hypothesis, astronomers began a feverish search for a missing planet on a designated orbit (about 2.7 AU). However, they all confirmed that the planet must be extremely small, since it had never before been observed. In 1801, Giuseppe Piazzi discovered in this place a small celestial body called Ceres. Astronomers all over the world flashed her a new, missing planet, but the next few years were going to disappoint. In 1802, Heinrich Wilhelm Olbers discovered another similar body, called the Pallas. Shortly afterwards, other celestial bodies were found at similar distances from the Sun - Juno and Westa.

There is now a suggestion that none of these numerous bodies is a planet, but they are asteroids - objects created by the destruction of another, larger planet by some cosmic catastrophe. The hypothetical, destroyed planet of the name was not yet given, nor was its size determined, thus becoming a breeding ground for the authors of the science fiction novel. Name

In the twentieth century, Russian meteorologist Eugeniusz Leonidowicz Krinov suggested that the hypothetical planet be called Faetona, the son of the Sun god Helios, who was struck by Zeus. State of today

According to today's state of knowledge, Faeton's existence was impossible, since the total mass of the known asteroids (and probably all in the waist) was less than 1/24 of the mass of the Moon. Some explained this state that Mars was also part of Faeton, but it was not satisfied with the Titius-Bode rule. Others claim that too little asteroids have been discovered, and that when enough of them are known, their mass will be sufficient. At the present state of affairs, Faeton's existence is undermined.
