 Abstract: In contrast to the planets, the objects beyond Neptune mostly move on inclined, eccentric orbits. This implies that some process restructured the outer solar system after its formation. Here we show that a close fly-by of a neighbouring star could have caused these unexpected orbits. Our computer simulations show that such a scenario might be much more likely than previously assumed.
