Astronomic Oddball, Triton

Posted on April 7, 2024 by obisesoa

Triton stands out amongst most moons. Usually a moon is made of the leftovers from when the solar system was being formed, ideally becoming large enough to force itself into a spherical shape.

Neptune’s Triton’s Origins

Posted on April 17, 2022 by Sheila Chau

As compared to other moons, Neptune’s Triton was captured into Neptune’s orbit. This was found out due to its backward rotation and how it rotates at a high inclination to Neptune’s equator. Rather than being formed in the disk of gas around Neptune, Triton was most likely captured into Neptune’s orbit.  There is one way…Continue reading » Continue reading →
