There is mountain range twice as high as Everest that was built… in an afternoon
The body that generates heat at the fastest rate in the Solar System is not the Sun
When Galileo pointed his telescope at Saturn, he declared it a planet… with ears!
The planet Uranus was originally not called Uranus. It was called George!
