Question: Approximately how many stars does the Andromeda Nebula contain?
Incorrect Answer
Correct Answer The Andromeda Nebula (Galaxy) is often considered a twin of the Milky Way although it is a little larger. From the speed at which a star near the edge circles the center, we estimate that its mass is equal to that of 100,000,000,000 to 1,000,000,000,000 stars like the sun.

Question: If you could travel in a space ship at the speed of light away from the solar system, how long could you see the sun?
Incorrect Answer
Correct Answer The exact answer depends on your eyesight and observing conditions but most people could see the sun for about 30 years in reasonably good observing conditions. The sun is considered an average star. There are stars as much as 400,000 brighter than the sun and others as much as 400,000 time fainter if they could all be seen at the same distance.
Question: How far have spacecraft from Earth traveled into space?
Incorrect Answer
Correct Answer The planetary exploration missions Pioneer and Voyager have barely traveled beyond our Solar System. These are the fastest spacecraft ever launched from Earth. Even these spacecraft will take a very long time to travel one light-year. We don't have the knowledge or technology to send space probes or manned craft to even the nearest stars!

Question: The experimental satellite SROSS abbreviation means?
Incorrect Answer
Correct Answer ISRO developed the SROSS (Stretched Rohini Satellite Series) Magnetosphere spacecraft as follow-ons to the successful Rohini satellite series. The SROSS vehicles were designed to carry small scientific and technology payloads, including astrophysics, earth remote sensing, and upper atmospheric monitoring experiments. SROSS C2 carried a gamma-ray burst (GRB) experiment consisting of two scintillators to study celestial gamma ray bursts and a Retarded Potential Analyser (RPA). The GRB monitored celestial gamma ray bursts in the energy range 20-3000 keV. The RPA measured temperature, density and characteristics of electrons in the Earth's ionosphere.
