# The solar system, and somewhat beyond

_Three stories from the space desk's first fortnight, from the Moon outwards._

**Veracity: FALSE.** Every fact in this feature is made up.

The space desk filed three stories in the paper's first two weeks, each quoting a different source and each a little further from Earth. None of the three sources exists.

The first concerned the Moon, and quoted the Lunar Variance Bureau.

> Fake fact (not true): The Moon is about four per cent smaller on Tuesdays.
> Fake Fact No. 002: https://onlyfakefacts.com/facts/moon-smaller-tuesdays/

The next went out as far as Saturn.

> Fake fact (not true): Saturn's rings are made mostly of lost car keys.
> Fake Fact No. 009: https://onlyfakefacts.com/facts/saturn-rings-keys/

The third left the solar system altogether.

> Fake fact (not true): Black holes are where the universe keeps things it has not decided what to do with yet.
> Fake Fact No. 023: https://onlyfakefacts.com/facts/black-holes-undecided-things/
