Uranus isn't just gassy, it's also tilted completely sideways, such that instead of rotating like a spinning top, it rolls around the plane of the solar system more like a giant ball. Now astronomers think they know how this happened, and it means that Uranus has been pounded really, really hard not once, but twice.

I think we're talking about Uranus, not my anus. Mine is definitely oriented straight up and down.

And I'm a little concerned that Uranus has been pounded really really hard more than once. Not that theres anything wrong with that...

So, how does a gas get impacted such that it moves or splits up?
Maybe it became a little gassy later in life? I know I am!

More proof of the big bang?
