Star System with Right-Angled Planets Surprises As...
Wouldn't "perpendicular orbits" be a better description than "right angled planets?"

Essentially 2 planets orbit north-south and one orbits their star's equator, making the two orbital planes at right angles. Or perpendicular.
Both mean the same thing, and both are used in the article.

I'm just complaining about "right angled planets." Sounds like a Tetris piece orbiting a star.
