Numerical evidence that the motion of pluto is chaotic.

G J Sussman, J Wisdom.   

Abstract

The Digital Orrery has been used to perform an integration of the motion of the outer planets for 845 million years. This integration indicates that the long-term motion of the planet Pluto is chaotic. Nearby trajectories diverge exponentially with an e-folding time of only about 20 million years.
