Scientific paper

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.
