Completed: 92

Depending on where you live, you will be able to see more or less Stars because of light pollution from Street Lights and other lighting (if you live in the city you'll be able to see less than in the countryside).

BONUS QUESTION

What is our closest Star? Tip: Include 'The' in your answer.

Always make sure you know where you are stepping when walking around in the dark!

Risk overall: Low. This should be easy but take care.
