Line 875 is a circular route serving the Eastern outskirts of San Diego, California, USA. Yes, there is actually public transport there, improbable as it might seem.

Kepler 881b is probably a super-Earth in a tight orbit around its parent star, Kepler 881, a G1 star more than 4400 Ly away in the constellation of Cygnus. The orbit gives it a probable temperature of > 1000 K, so it is highly unlikely to harbour life.

In a very American judgement, a Floridian was sentenced to 885 years in prison in 2015 - the maximum sentence of 15 years for each of the 59 pieces of child pornography that he owned. Nota bene, this was before he went on trial for the actual child rape he had committed as well.

I am sad to inform you that we lost one post when a double entry for 832 (the entries being postes only a minute apart) whnt unnotices. So to re-align the thread I feel compelled to tell you that

a) in the year 892, the German city of Bonn, on the middle Rhine was sacked by Vikings attacking from upstream, proving that not only coastal cities were at risk, and
b) this KAWASAKI NINJA 1000SX, which has only 893 mi. on the meter, is availiable used from Superbike Factory, but probably not at a bargain price.

On with the game. the first post on a page should always discuss a number which is a [number divisible by 25] plus one. A quick look through the pages reveals that we were misaligned for quite long stretches.

I feel compelled to use the occasion of my 70,000th post on this board to remind you of the fact that the 896 would have been up for discussion in your post.

U.N. Security Council Resolution 896 discussed the possible establishment of a peace force in Abchasia - in 1994, 30 years ago. It's a gripping read, I assure you.

Edinburgh an Hamburg are 897 km apart as the crow flies. Or the jet. Now isn't that interesting?

900 was a rainy year, and great scarcity affected the cattle. Domnall, son of Constantine, king of Scots, died as did Maenach son of Caemán, abbot of Dam Liac, Mac Étigh son of Lethlabar, king of Dál Araidi and Tadc son of Conchobor, king of the Three Connachta.
