What are things you never want to hear from a proctologist for $1,000.00, Alex.

Series of bumps sent Uranus into its sideways spin.

I've driven down roads like that.

They discovered that if Uranus had been hit when still surrounded by a protoplanetary disk — the material from which the moons would form — then the disk would have reformed into a fat doughnut shape around the new, highly tilted equatorial plane.

A doughnut around Uranus because it got hit?

I love science and physics, but when they can successfully predict the weather tomorrow I will be more apt to believe their simulation correctly predicts the motion of this massive body a couple billion years ago. I will give them an A for trying because we should never stop trying to understand our universe and the role we play.

And what is big enough to "bump" a gas-giant sideways?

Hmmm... lemme think...

In spite of all the stupid jokes, a most interesting topic. Thanks for posting it.

Since our inclination causes our seasons, makes you wonder what they would be like on Uranus (and please, no more dumb comments).
