3 of my wrong answers were caused by my mind not functioning the way that it used to. Although I've been sober since 1990 the effects of not always being so are clearly hampering my mental capabilities.
At any rate the photos in the quiz were just great to look at.Linux registered user # 414321

Another 12 / 20 here. Some of those were hard! I think you would have to be into astronomy in quite a serious way to score highly on that quiz!
THe pictures were great though. Have you seen Apod? (Astronomy Picture of the Day)If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate! (Zapp Brannigan)
My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

14/20 here, with some lucky shots here and there, though some things were just easy, others were just almost impossible to know.
