Uranus, the strangest planet in our solar system

In the first image (Image I) is the planet Uranus photographed as a featureless disc by the Voyager II space probe in the year 1986. As you see the clouds of Uranus are almost without features. The winds are blowing about 900 kilometers per hour in the atmosphere of that mystery planet. There is a Dark Spot in the atmosphere of the planet Uranus (Image II). The Dark Spot is visible in the image that was taken by the Hubble space telescope in 1998. As well as the Jupiter and Neptune have. But that dark spot is weaker than the Great Red Spot of Jupiter or Dark Spot of Neptune (Image III). As you see the Dark Spot of Neptune is easier to detect than the Dark Spot of Uranus. 

 The planet Uranus is very well-known for ithe strange angle of its rotating axel, which means that Uranus is laying to its trajectory, that the poles of the planet are to the sun both at their turn.  Half of the year of Uranus another of poles is to the sun and half of the year the other pole would face the Sun. The year of Uranus means the time, what that planet uses a single orbit around the Sun is over 84 years.

The exact length of the year of that planet is 84 a 3 d 15,66 h (Wikipedia).  So why Uranus interesting? The reason why the inclination of the planet is about 82 degrees is a mystery. The magnetic field of that planet is quite strong, and sometimes the reason for the very high inclination is introduced that some very powerful magnetic field or something like that is pushed Uranus and its moons to that strange position.  In this explanation, the magnetic field, what source is mystery took contact with metals, which are in larger areas under the clouds of that planet. 

So those metals would fall the Uranus in that position. In some other explanations, Uranus was a rogue planet, trapped by the sun. But in the most exotic explanation for the strange inclination would be that the dark energy or some kind of comic lightning hit Uranus and that caused the strange position of that planet.

In theory that lightning came through Pluto and Charon, which explains that those icy worlds were found in the place, where the calculated "Planet X" should be. But Pluto and Charon are too light for causing the errors in the trajectory of Neptune. But the energy lightning would explain the trajectorial errors of Neptune and the inclination of Uranus. But where that energy will come is the mystery? Why we haven't seen the source of that phenomenon? And this is one of the biggest weaknesses of that kind of theory. 

The mixture of gasses of the atmosphere of Uranus is about 83% hydrogen, 15% helium, and about 2% methane. In other gas, giants in their atmospheres are over 90% hydrogen, which means that the chemical structure of that planet is different than others. And that might support the theory of the rogue planet. The fact is that Uranus should have a solid nucleus, but there is not very much what astronomers know about things, what happens under the clouds of that planet.
