Level 18

Feb 12, 2012

Got two because I forgot the Zodiacs were also constellations. D'oh!

Level 88

Oct 6, 2019

Funny isn't it that astronomy and astrology are polar (no pun) opposites in critical thinking?

Level 14

Feb 14, 2012

Got Leo. That's a record (all jokes aside).

Level 43

Sep 12, 2012

18/88 hey i only just started 8th grade

Level 83

Mar 2, 2013

I'm sure that "Sagitta" is guessed more often than "Sagittarius" because people start typing in Sagittarius.. they get Sagitta.. and then they don't look to see which answer appeared and just assumed that they were given Sagittarius.

Level 85

Mar 17, 2014

Exactly what happened for me. I forgot there was an arrow constellation, tried Sagittarius, got Sagitta, didn't try it a second time and missed Sagittarius :).

Level 82

Jun 9, 2014

Somehow I managed to get Sagittarius but didn't get Sagitta, wth?

Level 60

Jan 19, 2016

Pisces is accepted whereas fish is accepted as something different

Level 74

Nov 24, 2019

Is it Piscis Austrinus?

Level 16

Jun 12, 2013

100% with 2:24 left, but should have 2 more minutes since there are 88... and by the way scorpio and capricorn should be accepted. nice quiz tho!

Level 83

Oct 21, 2014

Capricorn seems to be accepted now, though you still have to type in Scorpius or Scorpion to get Scorpio.

Level ∞

Oct 21, 2014

Fixed

Level 77

Jul 11, 2013

What about the pleiades? Isn't that a constellation?

Level 69

Jul 31, 2013

It's just a star cluster. It's part of Orion.

Level 34

Sep 19, 2013

actualy it's in taurus

Level 12

May 4, 2014

I got Draco. That's it.

Level 36

Oct 21, 2014

11/88, not bad considering i'm only in first grade.

Level 78

Oct 21, 2014

Oh there's a giraffe too!

Level 90

Oct 21, 2014

Almost missed one because of House. The answer is never Lupus!

Level 64

Oct 23, 2014

I have navigated across oceans using a sextant but I can still only manage about 60 odd. It is all good brain training ,spotting them with the naked eye isn't quite so easy.

Level 79

Feb 21, 2018

I'm sure you can navigate all the oceans without remembering Caelum.

Level 52

Mar 16, 2015

Special thanks to Masami Kurumada...

Level 7

May 22, 2015

88 out of 88 in 7:59

Level 53

May 10, 2016

not enough time and easier if southern and northern hemispheres are seperated

Level 27

May 23, 2016

Can you please accept "Ursa Maior"?

Level 63

Jul 6, 2016

I could not believe that canis minor and major weren't being accepted. Unfortunately, it was too late when I realized I had been spelling it "canus."

Other than that, I did horribly. Great quiz though!

Level 74

Dec 5, 2016

It says you also allow English translations, but "serpent bearer" doesn't work for Ophiuchus

Level 83

Dec 5, 2016

Snake doesn't work for serpent. Fox doesn't work for vulpix or whatever. There are several other examples, too.

Level 81

Dec 5, 2016

Oh dear, 4 points for just 24 answers

Level 80

Dec 5, 2016

I really liked this one - especially as it took a few tries to get 100%.

More astronomy please!

Level 68

Dec 5, 2016

It doesn't help when you type in Ursula major and Ursula minor. I got Southern Cross though! (Crux).

Level 78

Sep 19, 2019

Surprised so few got the Southern Cross. Guess folk in the northern hemisphere don't get out much.

Level 79

Oct 31, 2022

They need to listen to more Crosby, Stills, and Nash

Level 33

Apr 10, 2017

2 more minutes and I would've got the last 11. Only needed Taurus (How'd I miss that one?) Perseus, Serpens, Triangulum, Piscis Austrinus, Vela, Telescopium, Sextans, Triangulum Australe, Tucana, and Volans. Also, if you play Destiny, try some of the Vex names... They're linked to the Romans/Latin and Roman mythos, like Minotaur, Goblin, Harpy, Gorgon, Hobgoblin, Etc.

Level 26

Mar 6, 2020

thank you for many answers

Level 66

Apr 10, 2017

21 the zodiac,greek mythology, harry potter and some well known ones

Level 74

Oct 17, 2017

I started just guessing animals, weapons, household objects... got lots hehe!

Level 61

May 18, 2018

I get perfect for a couple times

Level 91

Jul 30, 2018

could you put a type in of pisces australis for piscis austrinus. that's how it is shown on my map.

Level 66

Jan 5, 2019

got 33 (which beats 88%) but quite a few through guessing. I realised the zodiacs, and I knew some were anmals, so started guessing animals, as well as a few mythical creatures. I knew draco and centaur, so thought for the fun of it, lets try unicorn. It was right ! Also fun to see, when completely weird/unexpected shout outs are right. Like I tried whale and lizard (both right, never would ve thought so. Ah well, might aswell try chameleon, it was right too!!!)

Level 66

Jan 5, 2019

Though the quiz is quite inconsistent, for some the english names are accepted, for others not, like fox (vulpecula) or horse (equuleus) And snake wasnt accepted for serpens.

(and i tried pigeon, not dove though, both translations for columba, wasnt accepted. While rabbit instead of hare WAS accepted).

Level 62

Nov 24, 2019

Don't any three stars make a Triangulum?

Level 43

Nov 26, 2019

100% with 2:13 left

Level 71

Apr 14, 2020

Took me until 15 seconds left to notice the horoscopes ad to the right listing all the zodiac signs I'd missed.

Level 76

Jan 27, 2021

I got 69 but forgot two Zodiac constellations. The stars have decreed that my score shall be n i c e

Level 63
