The present study of the Pluto orbit yielded by the LONGSTOP 1B, 100-Myr numerical integration of the outer planets has given attention to the 3:2 resonance in mean motion with Neptune up to degree 2 in eccentricities and inclinations. Confirmations are obtained for both the 19,900-year period longitudinal libration and the 3.78-Myr period libration of the Pluto pericenter argument. Because chaos originates with small divisors, possible resonances have been searched for among the frequencies associated with the critical arguments. The macroscopic stability of the orbit of Pluto is explainable in terms of the association of high-order resonances with small chaotic regions.
