Scientific paper

Planetary scientists are finding increasing evidence that the orbital separations between the giant planets increased substantially as a result of interactions between the planets and a disk of "planetesimals" that were left over after planet formation. The evidence comes from the Kuiper belt, a population of small (diameter <1000 km) bodies at the outer edge of today's Solar System that are the last remnants of this disk.
