Speed scores

Faster than a shooting star.

Twenty seconds a question, and the faster you answer, the more you score. Which body blocks the Sun in a solar eclipse? Clock's ticking.

The ramp

Low orbit first, then deep space.

Five rounds of ten, each one harder than the last - and further from home.

Titles

Reach for the stars.

When you finish, your score earns a title: Overcast sky if you score nothing, Whole sky mapped if you get every question right.
