Sounds painful. Hemorrhoids, maybe?

When astronomers have no idea how something happened they invoke just right collisions that just happen to do the job.
The number of just right collisions to give us the solar system we see defies common sense. It’s like playing billiards and with one shot having all the balls sink in pockets in numerical order.

Sounds painful. Hemorrhoids, maybe? Shouldn't they be called "Asteroids"?

It would be like that if all the planets had identical tilt, maybe. But the solar system is a hodgepodge of different tilts.

Sounds like Uranus got its ass kicked.

I think this time period in astronomical science is one of the most fascinating in history. So many new discoveries and eye opening observations. A busy person can hardly keep up with all the developments.
The ultimate cause as to why Uranus rolls on its side, will probably be more interesting than the effect itself. It’s an amazing universe, and we humans have only begun to scratch the surface of its wonders.

Shouldn't they be called "Asteroids"? You mean "Assteroids"?

Uranus is often referred to as an “ice giant” planet: Like the other gas giants, it has a hydrogen upper layer, which has helium mixed in. Below that is an icy “mantle, which surrounds a rock and ice core.
