Triton is the only moon in the SS that travels east to west. It is believed that triton was captured by Neptune.

"Many people do not know that the Moon travels from WEST TO EAST" The Earth also rotates from west to east; anticlockwise if viewed from above the Earthly north pole. If you were viewing from above the solar north pole the Earth and moon also travel anticlockwise around the sun.
Neptune's moon, Triton, has a retrograde orbit opposite the planet's rotation around it's axis.

However!!!! The Earth spins faster than the moons orbit so it still appears to be moving east to west...
