For the short answer questions, spelling does not matter. Misspelled answers will have scores adjusted.

Remember:
1. No online research allowed, your own pure brain only.
2. On multiple choice questions, feel free to guess. You may get lucky!
3. If you have a comment about a question, please do NOT give away the correct answer!

Enjoy!

A big improvement on my performance in December's quiz; 16/20. Got lucky with one, but not the second, related question.

Nice! I didn’t have to guess too much. I think I did well, but it wouldn’t give me my score.

13/20 here.

I did much better than Dec -- 16

i did 12 out 20 ,
it was better, but English not being not my language, sometimes I find it hard to write a certain word and I lose points even if it was the right answer.
but I love this game, the goal is to learn and to have fun .

Also 16/20, missed one that I thought was correct (back to the books) and one guess.

I had to guess the movie Q's. In the local group Q I knew the main galaxies but forgot the dwarfs. 13/20 :-(
Great quiz. 13/20 :-( Thought I'd done better on this.

Ray usually very kindly goes through and manually corrects scores for misspellings.

Fun quiz. Movie hurt my score. 15/20

13/20 here. I was 4 in 1959 and don't remember reading about the event

I re-took the quiz because I didn’t get a score the first time. 20/20. I only guessed on one question.

Proud to have done way better than chance (but, of course, not as well as you professional amateur astronomers).

Fun questions! Got 17/20.

Ah , never heard of those movies let alone watching them and answering them . 12/20 , failed in both the movie qns lol.
