Synopsis
Excerpt from Researches on the Evolution of the Stellar Systems, Vol. 1: On the Universality of the Law of Gravitation and on the Orbits and General Characteristics of Binary Stars
Laplace observed that the comets, unlike the planets and satellites, have every degree of inclination and very high eccentricities, and hence he concluded that they were originally foreign to the solar system; accordingly, in the nebular hypothesis, the comets are regarded as small nebulae which have been drawn to the sun in its secular motion among the fixed stars.
