I do know a little about astronomy but most of this quiz was latin translations. It's a long time since I studied Latin but I surprised myself on how much I remembered. Good Quiz

I got 9 out of 10 correct. It should have been 10 correct. The answer to #9 is wrong. Vela is a constellation that was split off from Argo Navis or Argo constellation, which represented a ship used by the Argonauts. Vela was the sail portion. Overall, I thought the quiz was good. Nice job!
