VIVAnews - David Nesvorny, researchers from Southwest Research Institute says, it is likely that the former has 5 solar giant planets. Instead of four planets like the one today.

As is known, when newly formed planets in the solar system not yet have a stable orbit of Jupiter and the possibility of ever closer to the sun before returning to his position.

But, how Jupiter can switch positions without causing the Earth collide with Mars or Venus can not be known. However, through computer simulations, by adding a giant planet with a mass similar to the planet Uranus or Neptune, eventually all logic.

Computer simulations show, a large planets of the solar system have been issued by Jupiter. After the giant planets in our solar system only four pieces, Jupiter could then move back to starting position and make the arrangement of the planets remaining as it is today without disturbing the inner planets.

"It is likely that initially the solar system has more than four giant planets and then releasing some of them seem possible if you see the findings of a number of planets which move freely in the space between galaxies for some time," said Nesvorny, as quoted from the Astronomy Now, November 13 of 2011.

Nesvorny said, the findings indicate that the process of expulsion of the planets of the solar system is a common occurrence. These findings were published in the journal itself The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Shift the position of Jupiter when the nascent solar system itself has been studied since long time. According pelenliti, one side effect is the resulting size of the planet Mars a dwarf compared to neighboring planets. (umi)
