Triton, Neptune’s largest moon, stands out due to its unusual retrograde orbit, meaning it orbits the planet in the opposite direction to Neptune’s rotation. This backward orbit is a key clue that Triton may not have formed alongside Neptune. Instead, scientists believe Triton was once a Kuiper Belt object—an icy body like Pluto—that was captured by Neptune’s gravity. This capture likely caused dramatic gravitational disruptions, potentially leading to the destruction or ejection of Neptune’s original moons. • #Triton #Neptune #RetrogradeOrbit #SolarSystem #KuiperBelt #SpaceExploration #Moons #Astrophysics #CosmicMystery
