Prof. Barnhardt to Klaatu in The Day the Earth Stood Still: "There are several thousand questions I'd like to ask you.”
Good Quiz
90% - the one I got wrong, was down to one of two answers, and I went the wrong way, despite me thinking very strongly that the 'other' one rang a bell.
On the other hand, there was another question where it was down to one of three, but I happened to choose the right answer
So, just as easily it could have been 80%

No spoilers here.
I got 80% and was confounded by the constellation representing an eagle. I also got the brightest DSO object wrong. Well I do live in a light polluted place so haven't seen it with my eyes. That's my excuse!

Congratulations Jean-Yves. You've been playing the quiz for a long time struggling with the language barrier. A well-deserved result.
Only half the normal number of people have played the quiz so far. Unless half the regulars have suddenly become bored with these quizzes then something else is at play. There is a lot going on at present with solar eclipse preparation, eclipse and post-eclipse travels, and processing, lunar eclipse, comet Pons-Brookes, low latitude aurora displays.
So I've decided to keep this quiz active well into May to give all the regulars a chance to play.
