Here are five space science questions to challenge you. Is your mind a great expanse, or are you a bit spaced out?
Sputnik 1 was launched by the Soviet Union in 1957.
We live in a spiral galaxy called the Milky Way. The spiral shape is hard for us to observe, because we’re inside it!
The Moon is bigger. It’s about 3500 kilometres across, while Pluto is only 2400 kilometres wide.
Selenium is named after Selene, the Ancient Greek goddess of the Moon.
Mercury and Venus are both closer to the Sun than Earth is.
Congratulations! You are a real science whiz!
Oh dear! Better brush up before the next quiz!
