"Scientists have always been slightly puzzled by the positions of Uranus and Neptune because in their present locations it would have taken longer than the age of the Solar System for them to form."

Their arrogance is amusing when coupled with their refusal to admit that they are making it up as they go along.

Newfound Planetary System Has 'Hometown' Look

"The star, 55 Cancri in the constellation Cancer, was already known to have one planet, announced by Butler and Marcy in 1996. That planet is a gas giant slightly smaller than the mass of Jupiter and whips around the star in 14.6 days at a distance only one-tenth that from Earth to the Sun."

Its origin is either capture, or ejected from its star; a satellite in prograde rotation will experience a momentum transfer from the parent body, meaning a very short timeframe in orbit around 55 Cancri.
