System Found Where Planets May Orbit Backward

Astronomers studying a disk of material circling a still-forming star
inside our Galaxy have found a tantalizing result -- the inner part of the
disk is orbiting the protostar in the opposite direction from the outer
part of the disk.

with so many stars the posibilities are almost endless.... maybe theres a star whose planets take turns at being closest
or may be not

thanks for the link sonia....

actually it makes me think about sinks and how in one hemisphere water is suposed to go one way and in the other it goes the other way. although this has been proven false and it has to do with sink design more than anything
