Good game @Mi-Amigo

Was torn between Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein for question 8 but happy I chose the correct one. I guess the word 'urn' in the centre of gutturniform may be a bit of a clue to question 6, but didn't spot it.

Well done all who took part.

Happiness 🌟🌟🌟
Interesting that Venus was knocked North Pole to South Pole ......roughly more Scientific data on angle degree
(according to the wise ones🌐)
Venus was the same anticlockwise.
A note for @Mi-Amigo
Scientifically the correct way to describe the spin of a planet is "forwards" or "backwards"
according to the wise ones...🌐 who decide 🤔

Well done everyone .... on their awards.

Always willing to learn and understand more as brain deteriorates🙃

Interesting note ...

The wise ones are IAU

International Astronomical Union

Recently deciding in their undoubted wisdom that Pluto does now not meet their definition of a planet ...ok...don't ask😁

HAPPINESS IS BEE SHAPED
