Scientists have discovered a rare perpendicular solar system

Curious, but not brain-breaking.
The inner planet(s) were, per usual, formed out of the protostellar disk and orbit comfortably in the ecliptic.The two others (C and D) were captured later with no history in the original disk and thus no ecliptic bias.

Now, how they were captured – that’s another (and very interesting) question. I wonder what their rotational axes are.
