Google’s first tweet was: “I’m 01100110 01100101 01100101 01101100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01101100 01110101 01100011 01101011 01111001 00001010."

Many of you probably recognize that language as binary code, and if you can read it...well, you're either a huge nerd or a robot. Decoding the message reveals the entire phrase to be "I'm Feeling Lucky" - which is the button next to the search button on the Google website!

For a while, a fictional city appeared on Google Maps for no apparent reason!

The nonexistent settlement, called “Argleton,” was located just east of the civil parish of Aughton in West Lancashire, England. In reality the area is just a bunch of empty fields. The supposed town was finally removed from Google Maps and Earth in January 2010 not just because it didn’t exist, but because many online information services were mistakenly listing addresses within the postage zones as being located in Argleton! 

It is not known for certain why or how Argleton began - it was most likely a mistake by a programmer at Tele Atlas, the Dutch company that provides all the information for Google’s map database. However, Argleton briefly became quite a cultural phenomenon. A year after its discovery in 2008, it was receiving around 249,000 hits on Google and had become a fairly popular hashtag on Twitter!

For the first time in history, two planets have been discovered that share the same orbit.

 The pair of planets are part of a four-planet solar system called KOI-730. They orbit a sun-like star, one 60 degrees ahead of the other, with a full revolution taking 9.8 days. The reason this phenomenon is possible is because there are two gravitational "sweet spots" called Lagrange points along a planetary body's orbit where another body can share the same orbit. These points are located 60 degrees ahead of and 60 degrees behind the orbiting object. 

This even occurs within our solar system - group of asteroids called Trojans inhabit the Lagrange points of Jupiter's orbit! The existence of this pair of planets also supports an existing theory that the moon was formed by the collision of the Earth and a Mars-sized planet that once shared its orbit.
