Extremely basic questions and I still fell for the Hubble one. At least only this one.

The vast majority of these were trivia in the same way that the name of the thing with two holes in the middle of your face is trivia. I got tripped up on distance to the sun because I didn't pay enough attention and answered in miles while wondering why all the choices were multiple of 50.

When Voyager 1 was launched in 1977 it was expected to remain functional for no more than five years. Forty-seven years on and it's still sending back information.

Both Voyager 1 and 2 are now in interstellar space. Completely beyond the influence of our sun. Just absolutely incredible to think about.

NASA: "The Hubble Space Telescope sees primarily visible light (indicated here by the rainbow), as well as some infrared and ultraviolet radiation. NASA", though it sees some UV and IR, but not all of it? 🤓🤓🤓 https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/spectrum1-jpg.webp?w=1024&format=webp

19/20 just missed the shortest day question. Got thrown for a loop by the sun distance question, being American I don't metric very well, but I did know the distance in miles so I made a guess :-)

Same here. I'm also puzzled that Pluto isn't a planet, just a dwarf planet. Now, colour me stupid, but if it has the word planet in its description, it's a planet.

1. Fun quiz, thank you! 2. That picture of Olympus Mons ...erupting? 🙃 Well, I guess no one specified that it was a CURRENT picture.

Or even a picture of Olympus Mons, which has a completely different shape to that of the volcano in the photo.

I looked up to see how far away Voyager I was, 25 billion km after 47 years flight. The nearest star is 40 trillion km away.

18/20. Got the shortest day question wrong, and the distance to the sun. Shortest day was a shot in the dark guess for me. And the distance to the sun I guessed 100. I think my brain remembered the number of miles but forgot the units. At least, that's the excuse I'm going to go with 😂

I would like to nitpick that "dwarf planet" is still a planet. It's right there in the name. Along with a few other dwarf planets.

Damn, only got the distance to the sun wrong - Honest mistake ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (Can we get a Nerd edition of this quiz?)
