Abstract
The approaches taken by solar system dynamicists to various outstanding problems has changed considerably in recent years. Some problems for which few-body approaches have been tried in the past are now thought to involve collective phenomena. Observed features in Saturn's rings associated with resonances are examples. On the other hand, the problem of the origin of the Kirkwood gaps in the asteroid belt, for which a number of a many-body approaches (involving collisions or gas friction) have been tried, probably has a few-body solution and may involve chaos.
