How well do you know your way around space?
Do you know how many miles are in a light-year? What’s the hottest planet in our solar system? What was the first animal to be launched into orbit? Test your knowledge of all aspects of space, including a few things about life here on Earth, by taking these quizzes.
Space is for everybody. It’s not just for a few people in science or math, or for a select group of astronauts. That’s our new frontier out there, and it’s everybody’s business to know about space.
