Phaeton

Release date:

Phaeton is a disproved planet believed to exist between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The destruction of Phaeton supposedly created the asteroid belt, including the dwarf planet Ceres. Today Phaeton's theory is disproved. It is believed that main-belt asteroids never formed a planet and are just remnants left over from the protoplanetary disk.
