On that program, (which I can't remember the name of), I saw that not only is Uranus' polar axis tilted almost to 90 degrees, but its satellites are fairly nicely arranged on the planet's equatorial plane. I knew about the polar tilt, but not the moons. I figure that somehow the planet got tilted, but why the moons? This would suggest that the whole system formed that way. But why? How? It seems contrary to the expected physics.
