What is your favourite thing about the subject of Astronomy? Stars are nice to look at.

Rhea was not overwhelmed by the prospect of Astronomy. Sure, stars and things were nice to look at, but were they useful? And surprise, surprise, there were going to be talking about stars in Astronomy. Now, Rhea did know a thing or two about stars. After all, one of her favourite pastimes was sitting outside, avoiding people, which meant she often saw the night sky. But although she was familiar with what she saw, she didn't know the names of them.

She could guess, though.

Being singled out as someone who never spoke or was unwilling to participate or learn was not what she wanted. If people thought that then they would be absolutely right. Ha. But she didn't want that sort of attention. Or any attention, actually. So she stuck up her hand and answered with the first plausible answer that came to mind. "I'm pretty sure Pegasus is one of them, Professor." She couldn't name three, though.
