First 2 Myr of the orbital evolution of an asteroid born in a circular orbit in 4:5 mean-motion resonance with Jupiter. Repeated interactions with the giant planets (colored circles: blue, orange, green, and red for Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, respectively) launch the asteroid along the conveyor belt into the Oort cloud until it reaches the Hill sphere at a semi-major axis of ≳ 14 000 au with eccentricity ≳0.995. The inset tothe lower left gives the first 0.1 Myr of evolution, and the inset to the top right gives the first 0.3 Myr. Each frame is on a different scale.
