Hypothetical fifth gas giant

This led David Nesvorný of the Southwest Research Institute to propose that the Solar System began with five giant planets with an additional Neptune-mass planet between Saturn and Uranus.

This evolution of the giant planets orbits, similar to processes described by exoplanet researchers, is referred to as the jumping-Jupiter scenario.

The hypothetical fifth gas giant is an additional planet added by some theorists to recent versions of the Nice model.
