Yes, that's my understanding.  I think it's clear that since the two planets tug
on each other so hard when they get close together, this is an unstable
arrangement.  It can't stay this way for long, and it can't have been this way for
long.  Maybe it has only been this way since the White Fountain came cruising in
and disrupted what was a two planet system.
