3D orbital configurations
Inner four planets
Views of the four inner planetary orbits
in the beginning and final parts of the integrations N_+/-.
The unit of axes are AU. The xy-plane is set to the invariant plane
of solar system total angular momentum.
In each panel, a total of 23684 points are
plotted with an interval of about 2190 years during 5.47*10^7 yr.
Solid lines in each panel denote the present orbits of the four terrestrial
planets (taken from DE245).

Outer five planets
Oblique and vertical views of the outer five planetary orbits
in final parts of the integrations F_+/- viewed from an inertial frame.
The unit of axes is AU. The xy-plane is set to the invariant plane
of solar system total angular momentum.
In each panel, a total of 23810 points are plotted with an interval
of about 87611 years during 1.814*10^9 yr.

In figures below, a rotation is applied to the coordinate system so that
Pluto's perihelion always lies on an x-axis.
Such transformations make the figures easier to look at
since inclination and eccentricity of Pluto are much larger than those
of other planets.
