Fun Facts
We are busy finding Fun Facts to go on this page! Please return soon, but in the meantime, here are a few to keep you going:
Star in a car If you could travel to the nearest star in a car at 70 miles an hour, it would take 356,908,917,036 years!
A real turn-on The light from the star Arcturus was used to open the 1933 Chicago World's Fair in 1933 because it was then thought that the star was 40 light years away. So the light would have left the star in 1893 when the previous fair was held. But we now know that Arcturus is only 36.7 light years away, and the light that was used actually started its journey in 1896.
Helluva place There is a crater on the Moon called Hell. But it is named after the Hungarian astronomer Maximilian Hell (1720-1792).

Wrong guy You know all those pictures of Neil Armstrong on the Moon? They're actually of Buzz Aldrin. Neil Armstrong was the one who took almost all the photos.
