Abstract: | The paper presents a brief history of cometary cosmogony. It discusses critically the eruptive hypothesis, the hypothesis
on the relict origin of comets, and the hypothesis on a genetic connection between comets and trans-Plutonian planets. Laplace’s
theoretical prediction as to the capture of long-period comets by Jupiter into short-period orbits is confirmed. We conclude
that the interstellar hypothesis promising is for the provenance of comets. |
