Want to find a mountain 3 times larger than Mount Everest? Try looking at an asteroid:

A giant mountain, three times taller than Earth's highest peak, graces the southern polar region of Vesta, an asteroid that's the target of a close-up study by NASA's Dawn science probe. The mountain is pictured in the center of this image.

It doesn't look as big as it probably is. That is pretty cool. Kudos to the people who go and find that stuff. :)
