Name a famous astronomer or cosmologist
“Name a famous astronomer or cosmologist” is a question in OnlyClick, and our answer book knows 86 answers to it. Galileo Galilei, Stephen Hawking and Edwin Hubble are what most people type first, so they score the least. It is a fairly short list: only 39 answers sit in the two rarest tiers, so reaching one takes real knowledge.
Astronomers name far more things than the news ever mentions, which leaves plenty of room above the crowd. You will find it in stage 19, “Stargazers Through Time”, of the Cosmos mission. The first stages of every mission are free, and later stages come with the full mission.
