25 weird and wild solar system facts

An interesting 25 item report here. I noted these entries showed evidence for a much younger solar system age than the 4.56 billion years old age used since Clair Patterson in mid-1950s.

11. MERCURY IS STILL SHRINKING, 12. THERE ARE MOUNTAINS ON PLUTO, 13. PLUTO HAS A BIZARRE ATMOSPHERE, 14. RINGS ARE MUCH MORE COMMON THAN WE THOUGHT, 18. NEPTUNE IS TOO HOT.

Perhaps someday, a database will show all here for folks to see how various objects in the solar system are dated, and redated when needed :)
