Scientific paper

A new scheme for the formation of Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune is proposed. After Jupiter is formed, this planet ejects, over a period of 10-million to 20-million years, an embyro of about 5 earth masses into the Saturn feeding zone. This embryo initiates the growth and formation of Saturn. After Saturn is formed, massive embryos are ejected into the feeding zones of Uranus and Neptune. These embryos provide for the formation of Uranus and Neptune over cosmogonically realistic time periods.
