In the early solar system, Uranus seems to been hit by another body or it may have been perturbed by the gravitational influence of a large moon early in its formation.

The early solar system was strange and chaotic, and Uranus is evidence of that.

Way less weird than Venus. Poor Venus, nobody ever notices its quirks.

I think I'm most happy that this animation made all the planets rotate in the correct directions. It even got Venus correct, which is satisfying to see for some reason lol.

Very cool animation. I wonder whether you could walk on Venus on such a way as to stay in eternal twilight.

Edit: i just did the maths and yes you could if you walk at 7 km/h constantly or sth.

Charles Stross (on mastodon) has a book involving a terminator city in either Mercury or Venus, can't remember which.

Venus is quiet quitting the whole revolving thing.
