NASA finds Neptune moons locked in 'dance of avoidance' 7 years ago
This is a reversal of cause and effect.
We're looking at billion-year-old hydrostatic, spheroid satellites that currently orbit in a system that stabilized a long, long time ago.
They are ancient survivors of a chaotic distillation that predates all of life on earth, a dynamic system that stands as a persistent, unchanging choreography, undisturbed in a quiet part of space for eons.
None of the bodies are engaging willpower, in order to avoid one another.
What scientists are observing just happens to be a closed circuit scale-model racetrack, and the little toy race cars couldn't jump out of their well-worn grooves if they tried.
But hey, "science" headlines need clicks too...
