8. Saturn May Be Slowing Down:
Measurements of Saturn kilometric radiation, used by Voyager and Cassini to determine an internal rotation rate for Saturn, show that Saturn's rotation rate today appears to be six minutes slower than the rate measured by Voyager. This implies that the Saturn kilometric radiation might be only loosely coupled to the deep rotation rate, leaving scientists uncertain as to just what it is.

9. Iapetus Equatorial Mountain Range:
Iapetus, the two-faced moon has an equatorial mountain range on the dark side, that is 20 kilometers (12 miles) high in some places, more than twice the height of Mt. Everest.
