Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is another name for the Little Bear?

Answer: Ursa Minor

Ursa Major is the big bear and Leo is the Lion.
2. What three stars form the Summer Triangle?

Answer: Deneb, Altair, and Vega

I hope you didn't pick Orion, Leo, and Ursa Major! They're constellations, not stars.
3. The star Vega is in which constellation?

Answer: Lyra (the Lyre)

Vega is Alpha Lyrae, meaning that it is the brightest star in the constellation Lyra.
4. Which constellation is the star Alshain in?

Answer: Aquila

The star Altair is also in this constellation. It is the eagle.
5. What is the common name for Alpha Ursae Minoris?

Answer: Polaris

Polaris is also known as the North Star. Kochab is one of the guard stars. And Mizar is a star in Ursa Major.
6. Which of these is NOT a constellation?

Answer: Big Dipper

This was a tricky question! The Big Dipper is not a constellation. It is a part of Ursa Major. It's called an asterism. The Little Dipper is a constellation by itself though!
7. Which of these stars is not in the constellation Orion?

Answer: Kochab

Kochab is in Ursa Minor. It is one of the guard stars.
8. Ophiuchus is one of the constellations. What is Ophiuchus?

Answer: The Serpent Bearer

The River is called Eridanus. The other two are not really constellations!
9. Which of these is not a star?

Answer: Bishkek

This one is also a tricky question! Bishkek is actually the capital city of Kyrgyzstan. It's just really easy for me to remember this place for some reason.
10. What constellation is the star Nizari in?

Answer: It is not a star

Nizari is just a name I made up. Caprio and Berin are not constellations. I hope you didn't pick them. Sextans is the sextant. This is the end of the quiz. I hope you enjoyed it and don't forget to try the second one if you did well!(or not so well)
