As the young giant planets formed, they were surrounded by discs of material that gradually coalesced into moons.

Astronomers were surprised by these " hot Jupiters ", because theories of planetary formation had indicated that giant planets should only form at large distances from stars.

Centaurs are not in stable orbits and will be removed by gravitational perturbation by the giant planets over a period of millions of years, moving to different orbits or leaving the Solar System altogether.
