Hi, Smarty Pants. It's the trusty narrator, the host of Who Smarted?
First, a big welcome to all our new listeners.
Welcome to the Smarty family.
Here's a nice five -star review from one of you.
Hi, trusty. This is my new favorite podcast. I listen in the car with my sister and even before bed.
I'm telling all my friends too.
Sean P. Ohio. Thanks, Sean.
And that's a great idea.
So, Smarty fam, would you mind doing me a favor?
Tell one friend or another parent or an educator today about Who Smarted?
Because the only thing that's better than listening to Who Smarted is listening to Who Smarted with a friend.
Hello, smarty pants, and welcome to Trusty Trivia Thursday.
Today we're zooming out, way out, way, way, way out for a cosmic journey through the sparkly spirals of galaxies.
Before we warp drive into the trivia, a long distance shout out to Super Smarty fan Carter in Adelaide, South Australia.
Carter wrote to say that Who Smarted is so good because you learn lots of important things about science and history and that you especially love the funny narrator.
Well, I'm certainly not going to argue with that.
Thanks for smarting with us, mate.
All right. Three, two, one.
Let's blast off into trivia.
Question 1. In what galaxy is our planet Earth located?
Is it A. The Twixie Way, B.
The Milky Way, or C.
The Snickers Nebula?
Did you say B? Sweet!
Earth is located in the Milky Way galaxy, a vast swirl of stars, dust, and dark matter, and no actual milk, sadly.
Question 2. Which type of galaxy is shaped like a spiral?
Is it A, elliptical, B, spiral, or C, cinnamon roll?
Going with B, spiraling into smartness, and perhaps a little obviousness.
Spiral galaxies have beautiful swirling arms containing a multitude of stars and planets.
The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy.
Final question. How many galaxies are estimated to be in the universe?
Is it A, 200 billion?
B, 2 million? Or C, just ours?
If you picked A, you're cosmically correct.
The universe is estimated to contain over 200 billion galaxies.
Talk about a star -studded party.
You are out of this world, Smarty Pants.
Join us next time for more trivia that's truly stellar.
