JV Planet Strange things happened in our Solar System when it was young and forming. During the later stages of Solar System formation, massive protoplanets and planetesimals (the ancient building blocks of planets) performed a chaotic gravitational ballet that caused many planetesimals to be rudely tossed into JV Planet new and dangerous orbits by some of their dancing partners. This dangerous dance resulted in angular-momentum exchange between planets and planetesimals, which caused migration--either outward or inward--of the unlucky baby planet. For example, the outward migration of the ice-giant Neptune (the most distant major planet from our Sun) is believed to be responsible for the resonant capture of the ice dwarf planet Pluto--and others of its distant icy kind, termed "Plutinos"--into a 3:2 resonance with Neptune. In October 2015, a team of astrophysicists at the University of Toronto in Canada, proposed that a close http://jvplanet.com/ encounter of the worst kind with the enormous gas-giant planet Jupiter--that occurred about 4 billion years ago--may have resulted in a long lost giant planet's unceremonious eviction from our Solar System into the space between stars.
