How well do you know astronomy? This quiz will reveal your smarts. Astronomy is one of the few disciplines in which ordinary people play an active role. People have helped with many important discoveries, such as finding new comets. Observational astronomy may be grouped according to the corresponding region of the electromagnetic spectrum. This exercise will help you better understand the scope of your knowledge concerning astronomy—good luck taking this quiz.
