When did the instability of giant planets begin ?

Alessandro Morbidelli

Professor at the Collège de France

Abstract

When did the giant planets become dynamically unstable? This lecture compares evidence from lunar impact craters, binary objects in the Kuiper belt and dynamical models. It explains why these constraints matter for reconstructing Solar System evolution and why the timing remains an unresolved research question.
