Badger’s Space Quiz

Well, as you know there were asteroid storms across Russia last week, and as the topical news site that we are awkwardly becoming, Badger has decided to come up with a space quiz this week for your quizzing pleasure.

As usual, answers, along with the picture you would like us to publish should you be lucky enough to win can be sent to quiz[at]newsnibbles.co.uk – and if you do enter it is always worth checking in on the fan page or Twitter to make sure that we’ve received your entry.  Good luck, Nibblers.

1. Who is Halley’s Comet named after?
2. How often is it visible from space?
3. Can you name the three people who landed on the moon in 1969?
4. What year was the first unmanned moon mission?
5. Did the cow really jump over the moon, or is this just a myth? Explain your answer.

And a big congratulations to Pat, who answered three questions correctly, and wrote us a lovely poem, which is published below, with his picture and the correct answers.

1. Who wrote the poem “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day”? – Shakespeare
2. In the film, Love Actually, what gift does Harry give Karen when she thinks she’s getting an expensive necklace? – A Joni Mitchell CD
3. What is the name of Donald Duck’s girlfriend? – Daisy Duck (Coincidence when they aren’t married)
4. Which hunky former vampire starred in the horror film, Valentine? – We would have accepted David Boreanaz, or Angel here.
5. We would like you to write us a poem, if you get all the other answers right our favourite poem will win, and be published below with your picture.  You need to start it with “Newsnibbles, how do I luff thee?”
