Simulation showing the outer planets and planetesimal belt:
a) early configuration, before Jupiter and Saturn reach a 2:1 resonance;
b) scattering of planetesimals into the inner Solar System after the orbital shift of Neptune (dark blue) and Uranus (light blue);
c) after ejection of planetesimals by planets.
English: Simulation showing the outer planets and the Kuiper belt: a) Before Jupiter–Saturn 2:1 resonance. b) Scattering of Kuiper belt objects into the Solar System after the orbital shift of Neptune. c) After ejection of Kuiper belt bodies by Jupiter. Planets shown: Jupiter (green circle), Saturn (orange circle), Uranus (light blue circle), and Neptune (dark blue circle).
Simulation created using data from the 'Nice Model'.
