	Triton (moon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Triton is unique among all large moons in the solar system for its retrograde orbit around the planet (i.e., it orbits in a direction opposite to the planet's rotation).
		The small outer moons of Jupiter and Saturn also have retrograde orbits, as do three of Uranus' outer moons, but the largest of them (Phoebe) has only 8% of the diameter (and 0.03% of the mass) of Triton.
		Moons in retrograde orbits cannot form out of the same region of the solar nebula as the planets they orbit, but must be captured from elsewhere; it is thought that Triton may be a captured Kuiper belt object.

	Natural satellite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Several moons are thought to be captured asteroids; others may be fragments of larger moons shattered by impacts, or (in the case of Earth's Moon) a portion of the planet itself blasted into orbit by a large impact.
		Most moons in the solar system are tidally locked to their primaries, meaning that one side of the moon is always turned toward the planet.
		Exceptions are Saturn's moon Hyperion, which rotates chaotically due to a variety of external influences, and the outermost moons of the gas giants, which are too far away to become 'locked' (an example is Saturn's moon Phoebe).

	Nereid (moon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was the outermost of Neptune's known moons for a long time (S/2002 N 1 through Psamathe have since taken that honour), and is the third largest, with a diameter of 340 km.
		Its orbit averages 5,513,400 km in radius, but is highly eccentric and varies from 1,353,600 to 9,623,700 kilometres.
		The unusual Nereidian orbit suggests that it may be a captured asteroid or Kuiper belt object, or possibly that it was perturbed during the capture of Neptune's largest moon Triton.
