Hi all!

Seems kind of weird that we have a designated week for Space but we do! The theme of 2022 is “Space and Sustainability.”

 

Ironically, NASA just created a bit more space trash by crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid 11 million kilometres away 🤔

 

In the spirit of the week, however, I thought it'd be fun to test your  space knowledge  !

All the questions will be posted at once so please guess only one at a time so everyone gets a chance to ponder. Thanks to @Mi-Amigo we have a nifty list of quizzers to tag as well 

@Cleoriff   @pgn   @jonsie   @gmarkj   @MI5  @TallTrees  @BobM  @Spenny  @Comben  @adec   @J9el 

@RafaC  


I think you guys will make easy work of this 🤓 Let's gooo

@Cleoriff I had no idea that's what it was called here, but The Plough is correct! 

 

We call it the Big Dipper where I'm from. Would have accepted Ursa Major as well.

Some people see things as they are and ask "Why?"; I dream of things that never were and ask "Why not?"

Hey thanks for joining @Mi-Amigo. You are correct - Uranus orbits at a nearly 90 degree angle from its plane or orbit
