Hi to all, and welcome to another Blacklegend cache.
I have decided to place a couple of mystery caches, this one and its sister cache, Astronomy 102. This one is a very easy mystery, and just involves a bit of general knowlege about Astronomy and the Solar System. Astronomy 102 involves a little bit more knowledge and / or research.
Astronomy is my other big interest after Geocaching, although, I find that I have not been out with a telescope for a while, I will get back into that at some stage.
Ok, so here are the questions..... You could even give the kids a crack at answering these questions.....
A = The Sun is a ?
Star = 3
Planet = 7
Satellite = 4
B = The Moon is roughly as big in diameter as ?
Pacific Ocean = 6
Australia = 4
Mars = 9
C = Jupiter is the biggest planet in the Solar System ?
True = 2
False = 6
X = What colour is Mars, in the sky, when seen from Earth ?
Blue = 4
Green = 3
Red = 7
Y = Which is faster ?
Speed of Light = 8
Speed of Sound = 3
Z = A shooting star is ?
A star falling through the Earth's atmosphere = 9
A meteor = 3
A small pocket of air in the Atmosphere catching fire = 1
The cache can be found at 27.55.ABC 153.23.XYZ.
