Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Saturn may have the most visible and beautiful rings, but it only has 7 of them, while Uranus has 11.
Earth travels around the Sun at about 66 thousand miles per hour
The oldest known astronomical record in existence is a 32 thousand year old piece of bone that has the phases of the Moon on it
It took Apollo astronauts three days to get to the Moon and three to get back, but if you journied to Mars it would take six months each way, and you would have to stay there for a year and a half, waiting for the planets to align right for you to return
Jupiter is more massive then all the other planets, asteroids, moons, and comets in the solar system put together, yet it is only about one hundredth as massive as the smallest star. The Sun is ten times more massive then the smallest star, and the most massive is 150 times the Sun's mass. Big star. And the most massive galaxy has 800 billion times the Sun's mass ._.
Sound waves bounce around in the Sun every few minutes, but they are too low frequency for us to hear. These sound waves help astronomers study the Sun's structure
The impact that made the Caloris Basin on Mercury shot shock waves straight through its iron and nickel core and created hills on the other side
Ceres is not only the largest asteroid discovered but the first to be discovered
Jupiter's moon Ganymede and Saturn's moon Titan are both bigger than Mercury
Pluto's day and month are the same length
Vulpix's name comes from the constillation Vulpeca, which is the Little Fox
Mauna Kea could be called taller than Mt. Everest, as it stands 26 miles above the ocean floor that it stands on while Mt. Everest is 25 miles above sea level
If the Earth suddenly stopped rotating, we would all roll east at about 800 miles per hour, the Pacific Ocean would wash up on North and South America, and the Atlantic Ocean would wash up onto Africa and Eurasia. After everything settled down, the Earth day would be equal to the Earth year, and there would be no tornadoes, hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons
There are no official time zones at the poles
It is impossible to have a Blue Moon in February
More later~

The Earth has more than one moon, just only one visible, big one that makes a full orbit.
The others are really small and have crescent shaped orbits, although I think there is another one that makes a full orbit.
Also on the way to school I like to read the Metro and there's one section called "No s**t Sherlock!"
It contains facts published by universities or scientists that are really obvious.
Examples:
"Teenagers who pledge not to remain virgins are least likely to have sex."
"Obese people are more depressed than usual when compared to a non-obese person."
"The Earth is the biggest thing in the world."

Ah. My mistake, seeing as I know absolutely no Latin whatsoever.
EDIT: I have more facts :3
If everyone in the world stood side by side, they could all fit on Jamaica.
In some parts of the Atacama Desert in Chile, rain has never been recorded.
In the 1800s, a Welsh village named Llanfairpwllgwyngyll was renamed Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, meaning, "St. Mary's church by the pool of white hazel trees, near the rapid whirlpool, by the red cave of the Church of St. Tysilio." They reverted back to the original name in 1988, but the railroad station is still called by the 52-letter version.

Tell him I said 'hi' and 'screw you.'
May I add Mt. McKinley to the list? From the base up, it's about 6,000 feet taller than Everest. P=
And here's a few other facts, courtesy of Wikipedia:
- Ketchikan, Alaska, is one of the rainiest places in North America. On average, it annually receives over 12.5 feet of rain a year. The most rain recorded in Ketchikan would amount to approximately 17 feet.
- The Big Island of Hawai'i is the largest island in the U.S. Kodiak Island and Puerto Rico are the second and third, respectively.
- Because Sitka's city limits extend over almost all of Baranof Island and onto part of Chichagof Island, it is technically one of the largest cities in the world, area-wise.
