Wow, imagine how differently astronomy would have developed if you had planets orbiting in completely different planes in the sky… Yu+ on “A possible misaligned orbit for the young planet AU Mic c” and the coincidence that we see BOTH transits is astonishing. The Universe is weird. 🔭🪐 #astrodon

A circle representing the surface of the star MU Mic, with two lines representing the mean orbits of the planets b and c. Underneath the two lines are a bundle of grety lines representing the draws of the underlying distributions, looking like spaghetti dropped in a pan of water. A blue to red colour gradient on the star represents its rotation in velocity space, and the c orbit is almost at right angles to the b orbit and rotation axis of the star, and the debris disk alignment.
