One third of young stars spin out of tune with their future planets. This cosmic dissonance is built in from birth and may explain why even our solar system is slightly lopsided. That implies perfectly flat systems might be rare, and the search for Earth twins must account for such tilts.

🎯 The Sun's 7-degree tilt is a relic of being born in a warped gas cloud, lasting the system's entire lifetime.
