Very interesting quiz. I only knew the Sun, but was able to work out a few more with logic. Would be interesting to know the origins of a few of these!

I got 11 knowing the objects in the solar system but the last 5 had me stumped. Good quiz.

Nice selection, including some of the rather obscure asteroid symbols, but not going into the really outrageously obscure ones. :)
