The stability of the outer solar system is studied using a new numerical method for detecting the chaoticity of planetary motion. We explore a large portion of the phase space where the outer solar system evolves and construct dynamical maps of the regions around the Jovian planets. We show that these regions are densely filled by two- and three-planet mean motion resonances that generate instabilities in planetary motion. We also show how close the actual positions of the planets are to these instabilities.
