Ok I am often told that what to me is common knowledge, especially in astronomy, is not. So I thought I'd devise a little quiz to test the water. Have a go without googling or reading the other answers first.

1) What are the 8 planets in order going out from the sun?

2) What is the largest planet on our solar system?

3) What star is the brightest in our sky and how is it found in the sky?

4) What is the hottest planet in our solar system?

5) How far away is the closest star system to ours?

6) What is the star over the north pole and how is it found in the sky?

7) What is the crab nebula the remnants of?

8) What lies in the orbital space between Mars and Jupiter?

9)  What are the 4 Galilean moons of Jupiter

10) What is a pulsar?

I've poste TOS and STNG ones in the past. SW is not my best subject but I'd give it a go.

I got them because I am interested in astronomy.  Star Wars, however, I wouldn't attempt.  I'd be a real thicko with that.

I'm not sure if anyone would be that interested in it. It's a bit too niche.

13:35 well do an entry level one!

I'll have a think up of some questions.

1 Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune

2 Jupiter

3 Sirius, below, left of Orion

4Venus

5 3.5 light years

6 Polaris, using stars of the Plough as a pointer

7 Supernova

8 Asteroid belt

9 Europa, Ganymede, Io and Callisto

10 Neutron star emiiting electromagnetic radiation

Not sure, obviously of one or two, but then I am interested in astronomy, and I don't think a class doing GCSE astronomy is really a representative group for common knowledge.
