Simulations show giant planets destabilizing the solar system

Original: The solar system’s giant planets break apart in 9 of 10 simulations

New modelling work reports that in nine out of ten simulations, the solar system's giant planets — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune — break apart from their current stable arrangement. The finding reignites debate about the long-term stability of planetary orbits and whether the solar system's apparent calm is a temporary state rather than a permanent one.

Why now: The counterintuitive result that our solar system may be far less stable than assumed is striking to readers.
