Now you need to write down all fourteen answers horizontally, making sure to line up the first letter in each row, the second letter in each row, etc. If there are any answers that have two words, do not leave a space between them. After you've written them all down you should be able to find a space-related word hidden vertically in the words. What is the hidden word?

Here's an example using only six words:

If you had these words for your answers you would line them up like this (except more aligned):

W A S P S
S A T U R N
S U N L I G H T
S K Y S C R A P E R
L U N A
S T A R S

The hidden word in this case would be "pulsar" so that would be the correct answer.

Answer: (One word with 13 letters.)
