Stability of the Solar System essentially the distance from sun to earth). These are now known as the Kirkwood gaps. Some asteroids were later discovered to orbit in these gaps, but their orbits are unstable and they will eventually break out of the resonance due to close encounters with a major planet. Another common form of resonance in the Solar System is spin–orbit resonance, where the period of spin (the time it takes the planet or moon to rotate once about its axis) has a simple numerical relationship with its orbital period. An example is our own Moon, which is in a 1:1 spin–orbit resonance
The Planets five then-known dwarf planets, Eris, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Ceres. Unlike Matthews' composition, this work is not intended to be incorporated into a performance of Holst's suite. In 2006, the Berlin Philharmonic, with Sir Simon Rattle and EMI Classics, commissioned four composers (Kaija Saariaho, Matthias Pintscher, Mark-Anthony Turnage, and Brett Dean) and recorded an additional, four-movement suite based on asteroids in the Solar System. The four movements were: Holst adapted the melody of the central section of "Jupiter" in 1921 to fit the metre of a poem beginning "I Vow to Thee, My Country". As a hymn tune it has
