Ice at Mercury's Poles
MERCURY · freezers beside the furnace
The planet closest to the Sun keeps water ice, and the trick is geometry: Mercury's axis barely tilts, so the floors of polar craters never see sunlight and stay below minus 170 degrees, eternal freezers meters away from 400 degree furnace plains. Radar suspected the ice for decades; the MESSENGER probe confirmed it. The universe loves a paradox.
