- In 2005, scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope to study Pluto found two additional, but very small, moons.
- The remaining 0.2 percent of meteorites is split roughly equally between meteorites from Mars and the moon.
- The three broad composition classes of asteroids are C-, S-, and M-types.
- In the realm of the ice giants, Uranus has 27 known moons.
- Its equator is tilted with respect to its orbital path around the sun by just 3 degrees.
- Covered in water ice that reflects sunlight like freshly fallen snow, Enceladus reflects almost 100 percent of the sunlight that strikes it.
- This repeating pattern prevents close approaches of the two bodies.
- The Cassini Equinox Mission studied the rings during Saturn's autumnal equinox, when the Sun was shining directly on the equator, through 2010.
- The brightest object in the night sky on Earth (besides our moon), Venus has been observed for millennia.
- Other areas show regions with no craters, indicating major resurfacing events in the geologically recent past.
- In 1930, Venetia Burney of Oxford, England, suggested to her grandfather that the new discovery be named for the Roman god of the underworld.
- Soil chemistry experiments led scientists to believe that the Phoenix landing site had a wetter and warmer climate in the recent past (the last few million years).
- We see radiation from the photosphere as sunlight when it reaches Earth about eight minutes after it leaves the sun.
- Our moon is the brightest and most familiar object in the night sky.
- Some experienced high temperatures after they formed and partly melted, with iron sinking to the center and forcing basaltic (volcanic) lava to the surface.
- Jupiter's fast rotation is thought to drive electrical currents in this region, generating the planet's powerful magnetic field.
