###Initial Orbit # 180  About 180 initial orbit periods have elapsed since the beginning of the simulation. Neptune appears to have moved slightly further away from the Sun and lies slightly above the plane of the disk, suggesting that it's semi-major axis and inclination have increased from their initial values. The radial extent of the disk appears to have increased as well, which suggests that the semi-major axis of disk particles has increased as well. increased.  In fact, we see a more dispersion to higher radii, but more symmetrical than 90 initial orbit periods ago. Any trace of the ring-like structure near the beginning of the simulation has dissapeared. With the exception of the empty region around the Sun, the number density of particles in the disk appears to be higher towards the center and lower towards the edge, as if decreasing with distance from the Sun. Overall, the system appears to be becoming more symmetrical, as the orbits of disk particles more naturally disperse. ###Initial Orbit # 360
