Object twice size of Earth hit Uranus and caused it to tilt!

Astrologically, I don't know if this adds anything other than the idea that despite shocking and surprising events, Uranus is still standing. Sort of describes the disparity between madness and genius...maybe?

Hmm, the link you posted isn't working....I looked this up and found a few older articles, with slightly different theories:

2017: " The giant impact from an Earth-size rock that knocked Uranus sideways may have also helped create the tilted planet's moons, a new study finds."

2011: "The giant planet Uranus was tipped on its side by a succession of punches rather than a single knockout blow as previously thought, a new study suggests."

More from there:

An oddball planet

Uranus is a real oddball in our solar system.

Its spin axis is tilted by a whopping 98 degrees, meaning it essentially spins on its side. No other planet has anywhere near such a tilt. Jupiter is tilted by 3 degrees, for example, and Earth by 23 degrees.

Scientists have long suspected that some manner of violent impact knocked Uranus off kilter. The accepted wisdom had been that a single object several times more massive than Earth did the damage, slamming into Uranus long ago, researchers said.

"Sort of describes the disparity between madness and genius...maybe?"

I like your interpretation.

And now I wonder if Uranus' lopsided tilt does represent the way it can turn our lives almost upside-down.

Certainly explains why Uranus is such a nonconformist
