Here's one to kick it off:
The opposite sides of a die add up to seven.

A full moon is highest in the sky at midnight. A waxing moon is highest before midnight. A waning moon is highest after midnight.
I figured out these facts myself while commuting back from college at night.
Note that the Moon is getting farther away from the Earth each day. This is important. I did not figure this one out though.
