A meteor shower
Our answer book holds 45 answers to “A meteor shower”, from the first thing anyone would say to names almost nobody would think of. Perseids, Geminids and Leonids are what most people type first, so they score the least. It is a fairly short list: only 17 answers sit in the two rarest tiers, so reaching one takes real knowledge.
Space questions reward anyone who remembers the names behind the famous missions, not just the missions themselves. You will find it in stage 22, “Space Rubble”, of the Cosmos mission. The first stages of every mission are free, and later stages come with the full mission.
