	The moon's official name is "Luna" and at 1700ish km mean radius, it's a fair bit larger than Lachesis

	Really good quiz, I enjoyed it. @deej: No, "Luna" is the Moon's Latin name, but officially in English it is called "the Moon." @JonnyBoy18: The Solar System is in the Milky Way, not the other way around.

	Yes, on The Moon nerds get their pants pulled down and they are spanked with moon rocks.

	JonnyBoy18 meant the Milky Way candy bar. Although they aren't particularly big, they are in the solar system. Mars is probably a hair bigger :)

	It's slightly dwarfed by the sun...

	Rick:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 19:05 GMT	-3 points
	I just named the planets and the Sun and scored at the 75% percentile! Come on, people!

	nikkiesheepie:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 19:17 GMT	7 points
	I love the quiz. Just really annoyed that I can't spell Callisto or Ganymede. I didnt know half these things existed! A real eye opener!

	greebles:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 19:21 GMT	10 points
	Even as I was typing it, I knew "asteroid" was going to be too vague!

	Clint13, Alpha Centauri is a completely different star about four light-years away from our solar system.

	Weywot (the moon of Quoaor) may be bigger than 747 Winchester with a radius of 95±24 km

	LUbunkerman:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 20:39 GMT	5 points
	how did i get Lachesis and forget Io?!? Great quiz! :-)

	JonnyWalker:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 20:41 GMT	12 points
	Getting a perfect on this quiz the first time through... The Final Frontier

	KevinF:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 22:15 GMT	9 points
	The distribution is somewhat inappropriate.

	I was surprised that it was neither Ceres or Charon that were bigger that Callisto. Learn something new every day!

	NoVan:	Mar 10th, 2010 at 01:35 GMT	9 points
	Anyone who spelled "Quaoar" deserves a high-five.

	TL333s:	Mar 10th, 2010 at 01:54 GMT	7 points
	I though 'Kalliope' was spelled with a c.

	If the band you're in starts playing different tunes, I'll see you on the dark side of the moon!!

	Golden:	Mar 10th, 2010 at 02:39 GMT	4 points
	@NoVan - yay! High 5 for me! I rememberd it from the last solar system quiz on here... no idea how, just remembered there were 4 vowels in a row and guessed it right.

	Lyn_Marie:	Mar 10th, 2010 at 02:49 GMT	2 points
	5 stars! I only got 9, but this is a great quiz. Bravo to anyone who got all of them!
