Mystery telescope challenge

Hi everyone! This year I’m going to give you a term-long challenge to complete instead of a final. The challenge will be in two parts; One part will be answering questions and the other is a pure RP challenge. I want to test your astronomy knowledge in what will hopefully be a fun way by posting a new question each RP month which, if you complete along with the RP challenge, can earn you up to 40 house points at the end of the school term along with a mystery prize.

Intrigued? Then subscribe to this thread and participate to earn glory for your house and for yourself!

The rules:

New questions will be posted each rp month, a month in the rp is 10 RL days. The questions will test your knowledge in astronomy. They may be about past lessons, former or current professors, or just general astronomy knowledge which shouldn’t be too hard to find.
All answers to questions must be PM'd to Nordic Witch. Do not post them in this thread. Doing so will result in point loss.
The answers are not to be shared.
If you participate in the RP challenge, you will RP your student stargazing from windows in the school, in the observatory, or out on the grounds. The minimum is 10 quality rp posts. The maximum is 15 rp posts.
A quality post consists of detail and should not be a one liner.
You will need to PM Nordic Witch with the links to your stargazing posts by the end of term.
You can do the RP challenge with a a partner or a group but you still need to send me links of at least 10 of your own posts.
Its up to you all if you send me the answers to questions as they pop up or collect them and send them in all at once along with the RP links in one PM at the end of term.
If you have any questions you can PM Nordic Witch

Good luck!
