Scattered disc

The scattered disc (or scattered disk ) is a distant circumstellar disc in the Solar System that is sparsely populated by icy small solar system bodies , which are a subset of the broader family of trans-Neptunian objects . The scattered-disc objects (SDOs) have orbital eccentricities ranging as high as 0.8, inclinations as high as 40°, and perihelia greater than 30 astronomical units (4.5 × 10 9  km; 2.8 × 10 9  mi). These extreme orbits are thought to be the result of gravitational "scattering" by the gas giants , and the objects continue to be subject to perturbation by the planet Neptune .
