I like to learn and because I look back and read some of the comments I found out that Saturn is not a goddess but is a god and Cibeles is a goddess. Sometimes these quizzes, even when not always accurate at least pique my curiosity enough to seek out the correct answers...guess I'm learning either way

Sorry tio correct you, but the Earth has an astronomical name: Cibeles, precisely the Roman godess of Earth.

I like educational trivia like this one. The 57 sec flight was amazing. Thank you. Saturn is not a goddess. Cibeles the Roman Goddess is news to me.

A light year is the distance light travels in one year. That is a long long way. I forget exactly how far some one else will now and can tell us.
