Here's some new random facts:

Every 248 years Pluto enters Neptune's orbit and stays there for another 20 years.
A year on Pluto is 248 years on Earth.
There are around 2,000 meteorites crashed on Earth.
Black Holes are invisible. Time and space aren't present within them. You'd disintegrate if you'd enter one.
The Sun is about 98.9% of the Solar System's total mass.
The highest mountain in the Solar System can be found on Mars. It's called Olympus Mons and is about 24 km high.
Galaxies travel in space. Some crash into other galaxies, performing what is called a 'Galaxy Dance'.
If you'd be able to travel with the speed of light from one side of the Galaxy to another, it would take you 100,000 years to reach the end.
