That hidden 8th star, I did wonder if the middle star in the handle of the dipper was really 2 stars, but never checked - thanks for going easy on us, @Mi-Amigo - you're a star 🌠

[Cleoriff]

I do remember Brian Cox talking about the 8th star in the Big Dipper. I tend to remember a lot of what he says as he makes it interesting!

Well done everyone. Great game @Mi-Amigo 😊
