We’ve heard it time and time again. When it comes to new exoplanet findings, our conventional wisdom never holds. So the surprise that a batch of extrasolar planets are moving retrograde, orbiting in directions opposite to the way their stars are spinning, shouldn’t come as a surprise. Oh great - now even planets can be born "gay"!

Those may be wandering planets captured by a star’s gravity well — and they came in at an angle that made them retrograde.

chaotic conditions in the planetary system’s gaseous wombs may be to blame. Chaotic, gaseous wombs on a planetary scale, don't that just beat all. And here I thought that girl shrieking about the Earth's vagina being very angry was weird.
Militant feminists need better marketing, is all I've got to say. Applying it to planets just isn't working out.
