Night Sky Quiz
Moon
Changing your shape and the hour you rise each day, you're the brightest light on the road at night.
The Moon is the body that circles Earth. It makes no light of its own — it reflects the Sun's — yet it's the brightest thing in the night sky. Under a full moon, you can see where you're stepping even without a light.
Each day the Moon shifts a little against the stars, and it rises later from one day to the next. Its shape cycles too, from a thin crescent to full and back again, over about a month. You don't stay in the same place or the same mood; you change your face to suit the moment, and head out on your own to light up the people around you.
And yet the Moon always turns the same face toward Earth. However much you move around, your core doesn't change. Still, on a bright moonlit night, the fainter stars around it are hard to see. While you're shining, look around now and then to make sure a quieter person's light isn't getting lost.
Strengths
- You can change how you talk and act to suit the person and the place
- You're happy to head somewhere unfamiliar on your own
- You can brighten up a room that's gone quiet and gloomy
Where you may stumble
- Your brightness can drown out quieter voices
- You talk so differently with different people that someone who meets you in another setting is surprised
- You keep adding plans until you can't get round them all on your own
Sounds familiar, Moon?
- Every time someone sees you, your hair or style is a little different
- In a single day, you're heading to several different places
- When the Moon is out on your way home, you can't help looking up as you walk
Where you shine
When a room has gone dim and needs lighting up, when you're heading somewhere new on your own, and when you're meeting a different crowd every time.
Tips for “Moon”
- In a big group, turn the conversation toward a quieter person once
- Introduce two friends you usually see in separate circles
- Like a new moon, make one night where you don't have to light anyone up

Sirius — Sirius shines strongly on its own too. But the Moon roams the sky while Sirius stays put, so even in the same sky you never fight over the spotlight.
Saturn — In about a month the Moon makes a full lap through the constellations, passing Saturn along the way. For you, Saturn is a familiar face you can drop in on every month.
North Star — The North Star barely moves, always shining in the same place. The Moon changes its position and its shape every day. You go about things in opposite ways, and it's hard to find each other's pace.
