Hello! Time for a Space quiz No rewards because that is the way I am right now I will ask you a total of 20 questions and the person who answers the most gets to host the next season Rules do apply.
1. Don't answer 2 times in the same question
2. When you answer 3 questions in a row, then you must skip the next 2 questions.
In our solar system, the correct answer would be Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Earth only has a single moon, you asked which planets have moons (plural). Pluto has four known moons, but is not a planet.
Well, in my biology exam last month I had to make a freaking backronym for the five kingdoms. I swear I did that in elementary school.
The answer to your next question is Gliese 581g. If you're talking about a planet confined to the Solar System, Mars probably. Lots of science is telling us stuff about that place.

Mars was what I was looking for.

Q5. Name the places that are beyond the Solar System.
That question makes no sense. Do you want me to say Alpha Centauri? The Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster? Andromeda? The Lylat System? The rest of space? Or that this is a religious trick question?

I'm gonna guess that he's after the large scale structures of the Universe here. So beyond our solar system we would find the rest of the galaxy - The Milky Way - which is part of a group of galaxies called the Local Group. There are also structures known as superclusters (the Local Group is a part of the Local Supercluster), but the galaxy groups and clusters which form superclusters do not all share the same gravitational center, and therefore theses are not "proper" large scale structures.
The question was poorly formulated and I demand a point for actually bothering.
Interestingly, the Voyager 1 space probe quite recently became the first man made object to reach the edge of our solar system.
Wow, that thing's been on the go for over thirty years now, I didn't know it made it out of the Solar System! Apparently it was just a month go. Here are some beautiful snapshots for our rejoice:
Oh, yes, the Voyager craft. Still beeping away in the depths of space, trying to send back its messages in vain.
I'd like to participate, but since there's not been a question that hasn't been answered yet, I guess I'll just wait 'till the next.

Oh, I thought I heard somewhere that once it left the solar system, it'd be beeping along merrily, but the radiowaves wouldn't be able to reach us anymore (which, now I'm typing that, sounds ridiculous, I know).
