Jupiter's unknown journey revealed

The giant planet Jupiter was formed four times further from the sun than its current orbit, and migrated inwards in the solar system over a period of 700,000 years. Researchers found proof of this incredible journey thanks to a group of asteroids close to Jupiter. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190322105706.htm
