Hello there, thank you for spotting my mistakes 1) I'm aware 'Big' and 'Massive' are 2 different things. if you type google searching biggest star you can see the result. Many sources, including this link supports https://www.space.com/41290-biggest-star.html#:~:text=The%20largest%20known%20star%20in,in%20dwarfing%20Earth's%20dominant%20star. Howewer, science don't stop discovering. About 'Massive' I didn't say its the most massive, I mentioned quite massive. 2) With this I agree, I forgot to change it. Exoplanets are planets outside solar system. Scientist mostly search exoplanets that are in habitable zone and that may support life. By this maybe I was a bit confused. Sorry for that. 3) Well, by 2 belts I included Kuiper belt also. The fact that Kuiper belt also consists of asteroids, comets and other space objects and is in Solar system. Thats why I wrote 2. and to not to make explanation long. I gave info about one.
I thought the space pictures don't need license information, as above links explains why. and I didn't use a lot.
Coming to explanations. I just give a little more information about question rather than making it long and boring. A person who is interested search for it on the Internet as it has become very easy nowadays.
Finally, I thank you a lot for taking your time and answering my quiz, also spotting and correcting my mistakes. I know its for good. Cheers!

Lucky ShrimpNo problem, it's funny to take quiz and I think it's also very interesting to exchange points of view and enhance our knowledge. As regards the explanations, their aim is of course to "explain" the correct answer and give more information and additional sources. That's why I wrote that your explanations are a bit too brief, they don't add much to what you read in the questions themselves. Moreover, sometimes they are confusing in relation to the question, and that's why I mentioned #18 and #22: here what you say in the explanations seems to contrast with the right answer. For example in #22 you could have written the name of both belts in the explanation, and described briefly where they are located. Hope to have written my critics more clearly now, and helped you making your quiz better! Cheers!
For the question: ''Which is the brightest star'' you wrote Sirius as the correct answer. Actually, seen from Earth, the brightest star is the Sun. Maybe you had to better specify the question.
If there was no option for Sirius, then you could say its the Sun. Howewer, in general term its from all space objects. The Sun option is to confuse the takers. Next time I will try to make it better! Cheers!

Lucky ShrimpI agree with Stout Mammoth, the Sun is of course the brightest star we see from Earth. If you mean instead the brightest star in the night sky, then of course it's Sirius, but you must specify it. Also, "in general term its from all space objects" doesn't make sense – in some other parts of the universe other stars are of course the brighest! Lastly, you say "If there was no option for Sirius, then you could say its the Sun": well it's actually the contrary.

Sharp ChameleonWhat funny is, Stout Mammoth has the same question and correct given answer is Sirius. The term "from Earth" is also there but no Sun.

P.S. Question about Space Station Crew. Today 2 other members joined Space Station
#18: "Big" and "massive" are two different things; and anyway, UY Scuti is neither the biggest nor the most massive star. Check it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_stars - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_massive_stars
#21: Exoplanets are planets outside the Solar System, not planets in habitable zone (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exoplanet)
#22: There is 1 main asteroid belt in the solar system, not two (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid_belt). However, you gave 2 as correct answer and you wrote 1 in the explanation.
