I liked the list of space facts, but they left out one I think is really cool -- Uranus is tilted so radically that if the rest of the planets are like spinning tops, it's more like a rolling ball; its latitude lines are oriented more like Earth's longitude lines, and the sun shines brightest at its poles. Yet somehow, temperature readings near its equator have been higher than polar readings; the reason for that is unknown.
