    Yeah you’re right. From top to bottom it should be Jupiter - Saturn - (whatever planet(s) was/were there before there was the asteroid belt)

    Edit: corrected my German habitual capitalization

      Addendum: I just found out about orbital resonance and my mind is blown. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_resonance

      Also, the “lost planet(s)” i mentioned was a theory I liked as a kid. I know actual science suggests it is a cloud of material that was never even able to form a planet mainly because of Jupiters gravitational influence. But I still like it as a fantasy story.
