Astro and Quiz
Two words that define JISHNU
Here’s a tribute to the legend 
Q1 According to the Pythagorean
school of thought(Fig. 1), X was
essential to maintain balance in the
Universe, and prevent the Universe
from being flung apart.
Later, when the Heliosentriv theory
got widely accepted, yet another
version of X became popular, and
was expected to exist like Fig.2
Identify X
Fig 1
Fig 2
Q2
• Where can you find a messages from U.S.
President Jimmy Carter, the U.N. Secretary
General Kurt Waldheim, Beethoven, Mozart
and several other people?
• Along with messages from the other people,
you may also find some food, architecture,
and signals of a woman in love.
Q3 Id X
• X is a hypothetical red dwarf star or brown dwarf, originally
postulated in 1984 to be orbiting the Sun at a distance of
about 95,000 AU (1.5 light-years), somewhat beyond the
Oort cloud, to explain a perceived cycle of mass extinctions
in the geological record, which seem to occur more often at
intervals of 26 million years.
• Muller, referring to the date of a recent extinction at 11
million years before the present day, posits that X has a
semi-major axis of about 1.5 light-years (95,000 AU) and
suggests it is located (supported by Yarris, 1987) near
Hydra, based on a orbit derived from original apogees of a
number of atypical long-period comets that describe an
orbital arc meeting the specifications of Muller's
hypothesis. In 2002, Muller speculated that X was
perturbed 400 million years ago by a passing star from a
circular orbit into an orbit with an eccentricity of 0.7.
Q4
• Earth
• Mercury
• Venus
• Mars
• Saturn
• Moon
• Neptune
• Jupiter
• Uranus
• Exactly one object is not in it’s correct position in the list. Which
object is it, and what decides the positions of objects in this list?
Q5
• One of the legends associated with X is that a X’
stopped on his way to fetch water for Apollo, in order
to eat figs. Instead of telling the truth to Apollo, he lied
and said that a snake, kept him from the water, while
holding a snake in his talons as proof. Apollo saw this
to be a lie, however, and flung the X’, Y, and the snake
into the sky. He further punished X by making sure that
it would forever be thirsty, both in real life and in the
heavens, where the Y is barely out of reach.
• Id the constellation X, it’s related real world object X’,
and the constellation Y
Q6
The mirror shown on
the right is clearly not a
normal mirror for a
telescope. As can be
seen by the reflection
of the man, the mirror
is planar. Where/How is
this going to be used?
Q7 Id the event
Q8 Id the event
This one’s a bit harder… So the date of this doodle is July 29th, 2008
Q9
Identify the mysterious
green object in the image
to the left.
Q10
• In 2001, Karl Glazebrook and Ivan Baldry determined
______________, but they soon corrected their analysis in
a 2002 paper. The survey included more than 200,000
entities. The technical code for X is #FFF8E7. The finding of
the ___________ was not the focus of the study, which was
examining spectral analysis of different galaxies to study
star formation. What the study revealed is that the
overwhelming majority of stars formed about 5 billion
years ago. Glazebrook's and Baldry's work was funded by
the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. X was displayed
in a Washington Post article. The name X was decided while
Peter Drum was sitting at Y.
• ID X and Y.
Q11
Q12
Q13
Q14 Connect(Exhaustive)
• Greek goddess of chaos, strife and discord
• Element with atomic number 58
• Until it was given a permanent name, the Caltech
discovery team used the nickname "Santa" for it
among themselves
• The creator of humanity and god of fertility in the
mythos of the Rapanui, the native people of
Easter Island
• Mustard-colored, medium-sized, short-haired
with black ears
Q15
• "I used to live in an orphanage. It was dark
and cold and lonely. At night, I looked up at
the sparkly sky and felt better. I dreamed I
could fly there. In America, I can make all my
dreams come true. Thank you for the
“_______” and the “__________”.

Jishnu's Farewell Astro Quiz

  • 1. Astro and Quiz Two words that define JISHNU Here’s a tribute to the legend 
  • 2. Q1 According to the Pythagorean school of thought(Fig. 1), X was essential to maintain balance in the Universe, and prevent the Universe from being flung apart. Later, when the Heliosentriv theory got widely accepted, yet another version of X became popular, and was expected to exist like Fig.2 Identify X Fig 1 Fig 2
  • 3. Q2 • Where can you find a messages from U.S. President Jimmy Carter, the U.N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim, Beethoven, Mozart and several other people? • Along with messages from the other people, you may also find some food, architecture, and signals of a woman in love.
  • 4. Q3 Id X • X is a hypothetical red dwarf star or brown dwarf, originally postulated in 1984 to be orbiting the Sun at a distance of about 95,000 AU (1.5 light-years), somewhat beyond the Oort cloud, to explain a perceived cycle of mass extinctions in the geological record, which seem to occur more often at intervals of 26 million years. • Muller, referring to the date of a recent extinction at 11 million years before the present day, posits that X has a semi-major axis of about 1.5 light-years (95,000 AU) and suggests it is located (supported by Yarris, 1987) near Hydra, based on a orbit derived from original apogees of a number of atypical long-period comets that describe an orbital arc meeting the specifications of Muller's hypothesis. In 2002, Muller speculated that X was perturbed 400 million years ago by a passing star from a circular orbit into an orbit with an eccentricity of 0.7.
  • 5. Q4 • Earth • Mercury • Venus • Mars • Saturn • Moon • Neptune • Jupiter • Uranus • Exactly one object is not in it’s correct position in the list. Which object is it, and what decides the positions of objects in this list?
  • 6. Q5 • One of the legends associated with X is that a X’ stopped on his way to fetch water for Apollo, in order to eat figs. Instead of telling the truth to Apollo, he lied and said that a snake, kept him from the water, while holding a snake in his talons as proof. Apollo saw this to be a lie, however, and flung the X’, Y, and the snake into the sky. He further punished X by making sure that it would forever be thirsty, both in real life and in the heavens, where the Y is barely out of reach. • Id the constellation X, it’s related real world object X’, and the constellation Y
  • 7. Q6 The mirror shown on the right is clearly not a normal mirror for a telescope. As can be seen by the reflection of the man, the mirror is planar. Where/How is this going to be used?
