A New Dynamical Model for the Lunar Late Heavy BombardmentWe describe a new dynamical model for the late heavy bombardment in which a 5th terrestrial planet existed on an orbit that became unstable after 600 Myr, began crossing the asteroid belt, and enhanced the flux of impactors into the inner Solar System. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
