communicator and he appears in a recent DC
Comics issue to help Y, a legendary superhero
find his homeplanet. Identify X and Y

8. Q. 4
• Mythological stories help us understand many
things. Take for example Constellations A and B;
having peculiar red giants C and D in them.
Greeks say B killed A and thus A hides from B.
Chinese say C and D are rival brothers Shen and
Shang who don't even see each others face. All
lead to the conclusion that A and B are never
together in sky due to being placed diametrically
opposite to each other. Give either the pair A-B or
C-D

9. Q. 5
• In modern astronomy, ___X___ is an
internationally defined area of the celestial
sphere. These areas are grouped around
___Y___s (which themselves are generally
referred to in non-technical language as
___X___), What are we talking about?

10. Q. 6

11. Q. 7
• X is an asterism no longer classified as
constellation officially, though Ptolemy
considered it a constellation. Literally it is
southern __. It's shape is rather fishy with the
Chinese describing it as the Celestial Money.
ID X

12. Q. 8
• Her surname originates from the Latin word meaning
"left" or "with a direction to the left". The most
probable explanation for this is that most planets of
the solar system rotate counter clockwise (from right to
left). It is also the name of a star of the constellation of
Ophiuchus. Her first name indicates a relationship with
the dawn, however it is probably derived from a
phenomena which occurs when solar winds interact
with the earth's magnetic field. Her first name was
originally supposed to have been Aurelia, but was later
changed. Which fictional person are we talking about?

13. Q. 9
• This 1965 USSR 10 kopek stamp of cosmonaut
Alexei Leonov commemorates what first in the
history of space exploration?

14. Q. 10 *
• Which spacecraft takes its name from four British ships
which include the following:
• 1) A ship commanded by Captain James Cook during
his third and final major voyage from 1776 to 1779
• 2) Henry Hudson's ship, which he used in 1610–1611 to
search for a Northwest Passage. This ship had
previously been used in the 1607 founding of
Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in
what was to become the United States.
• It's last mission was in 2011 when it was launched
carrying the Permanent Multipurpose Module (PMM)
Leonardo, the ELC-4 and Robonaut 2 to the ISS.

15. Q. 11
• X initially called his discovery the Cosmica Sidera
("Cosimo's stars"), in honour of Cosimo II de'
Medici. At Cosimo's suggestion, the name was
changed to Medicea Sidera ("the Medician
stars"), honouring all four Medici brothers
(Cosimo, Francesco, Carlo, and Lorenzo). The
names that eventually prevailed were chosen by
Simon Marius, who also discovered them
independently at the same time as X: he named
them after the lovers of the god Zeus. What
discovery?

16. Q. 12 *
• X is among the rarest of all predictable astronomical
phenomena and occurs in a pattern that generally repeats
every 243 years, with pairs of its occurrences eight years
apart separated by long gaps of 121.5 years and 105.5
years. Its most recent occurrence was on June 5&6, 2012
and was the last of the 21st century. Prior to that it took
place on June 8, 2004. The original scientific interest in
observing X was that it could be used to determine the
distance from the Earth to the Sun, and from this the size of
the Solar System, by employing the parallax method and
Kepler's third law. The observation of X also led to the
conclusion that there was an atmosphere on a planet
named after the Roman Goddess of love and beauty. Give
me X.

17. Q. 13
• The story of a 2-part song titled "______ X-1" by the band
Rush goes like this:
• A black hole, titled "______ X-1", lies in the constellation of
______. An explorer is drawn in by the black hole. He then
emerges into Olympus, where he witnesses the gods Apollo
and Dionysus caught up in the struggle between Mind and
Heart. The logical thinkers are led by Apollo and the
emotional people are ruled by Dionysus. When he reflects
on what he sees, he becomes tormented in the lack of
balance of the people who insist on one extreme or the
other. The people rethink their struggle and unite together.
The gods recognize the explorer as a nascent new god and
name him ______, the God of Balance. Fill in the blank.

18. Q. 14
• ____X____, during his time as an honours program undergraduate,
worked in the laboratory of the geneticist H. J. Muller and wrote a
thesis on the origins of life with physical chemist H. C. Urey. He used
the summer months of his graduate studies to work with planetary
scientist Gerard Kuiper (thesis advisor), physicist George Gamow,
and chemist Melvin Calvin. He was an astronomer, astrophysicist,
cosmologist, author, science populariser and science communicator
in astronomy and natural sciences. He pioneered exobiology and
promoted the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI). One of
his famous quotes is: "The idea that God is an oversized white male
with a flowing beard who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every
sparrow is ludicrous. But if by God one means the set of physical
laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This
God is emotionally unsatisfying… it does not make much sense to
pray to the law of gravity" His saga has been carved indelibly in the
history of astronomy and astrophysics. Who?

27. Q. 23
• When life becomes difficult we are left in
disarray. While computer scientists love to use
it other way; for us the astronomers we don't
just want it opposite we want it very big,
huge, large. Our colleagues in New Mexico,
USA believe the same and have taken this love
to telescopes. What exactly do they work with
that we are talking about?

28. Q. 24
• Hindus always present detailed complex accounts of historic events.
Each Yuga has its own saptarshis who govern dhruv-loka (dhruv -
pole star, saptarshi - 7 stars of Ursa Major). Abhijeet was once a
mighty king who even dared to challenge gods. Contesting against
him Krittika (Pleides) went to forest to have him slipped and thus
ultimately dethroning and defeating him. This also enabled
Saptarshis to ascend dhruv to its position which Abhijeet was
occupying during his conquest. This event actually signifies shifting
of pole star position which happened during 12000BC. The story
further states Abhijeet prayed to gods and gods forgave him thus
allowing to take the position back in next yuga. This also matches
with the fact that star corresponding to Abhijeet will replace Pole
star as the north star in around 13,127 AD. Arguably next most
important star in sky after sun, 5th brightest star of night sky; Well
lyres have already started playing, who could it be?

29. Q. 25 *
• V838 Monocerotis (V838 Mon) is a red variable star in
the constellation Monoceros about 20,000 light years
from the Sun, and possibly one of the largest known
stars for a short period following the outburst. The
previously unknown star was observed in early 2002
experiencing a major outburst. Originally believed to
be a typical nova eruption, it was then realized to be
something completely different. Recently some of its
images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope went viral
due to the similarity in its appearance to X, a popular
free and open source software which is used in
conjunction with a system of interlinked hypertext
documents which was the brainchild of Sir Tim
Berners-Lee. What?

arrived in orbit around Mars in 1971 during a global dust-
storm. The first objects to become visible as the dust
began to settle, demonstrated that the altitude of these

The sixth-largest of the moons of Saturn was discovered
in 1789 by William Herschel. Is seems to have liquid water
under its icy surface. Cryovolcanoes at the south pole

this water falls back onto the moon as "snow", some of it
adds to Saturn's rings, and some of it reaches Saturn.
Because of this apparent water at or near the surface, it
may be one of the best places for humans to look for
