Oh. The sun. Which technicalllllyyyy she wasn't entirely incorrect in mentioning the zodiac since that was based upon sun signs and moon signs, she just didn't elaborate into further details. But the zodiac used both the sun AND the moon, so if she was more the competitive type, she might have argued as such.

Alas they were moving on to discussing certain phenomena, to which she was pretty certain that Ary answered correctly in naming solar eclipse and lunar eclipse. And the young first year gave a fairly succinct description as to what they both were, which left what exactly to contribute to the conversation?

"Aren't eclipses actually fairly common? BUT they're not always visible by habitated parts of Earth? So like solar eclipses occur two to five times a year, but sometimes they occur in parts of the world, where no one lives, such as the middle of the ocean." Which is why when it was a visible path from where people lived, they made a big deal of it.
