Venus is often referred to as the 'evening star' and the 'morning star'. It is the only planet that rotates in a retrograde motion. However, since it rotates so slowly, a day on the planet is longer than an Earth year.

Europa is one of the moons of Jupiter and the sixth largest moon in the solar system. It was discovered in the 17th century by the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei and is named after the mother of King Minos of Crete from Greek myth.

Answer: Charon

Charon is one of the moons of Pluto and was discovered in 1978 by James Christy. Charon and Pluto both appear to orbit around a common centre of gravity. It was named after the ferryman of the River Styx in Greek myth who was tasked with taking the souls of dead people to Hades.

9. Hidden Words: Find the answer hidden in the sentence below. Inept, uneconomic work hampered their ability to plan a mission to this planet.

Answer: Neptune

iNEPT, UNEconomic...

After Pluto was demoted to dwarf planet status, Neptune became the planet farthest from the sun. It appears blue, a feature attributed to traces of methane in its atmosphere. This has led to it being named after the Roman god of the sea.

10. Anagrams: Rearrange the capitalized letters to form the answer. The astronomer saw a shooting star in a REMOTE part of the sky.

Answer: Meteor

A meteoroid is a small body that may be composed of rocks or metals and travels through space. When it enters the Earth's atmosphere, the heat results in it leaving a streak of light. Such a body is then called a meteor. When a meteor falls to the earth and strikes the ground, it then becomes a meteorite. That's a lot of names for one little rocky body!
