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.Year: 1988 PMID: 17792606 DOI: 10.1126/science.241.4864.433
