I'm not really sure how Reach for the Stars is structured, but I'll take a jab at it!
1. Name 5 constellations visible during June.
2. How far away is Betelgeuse in light years to the nearest 10?
3. Brightest star in the night sky (as perceived by people)?

1. Bootes, Lupus, Libra, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor
2. 720 light years
3. Sirius

Also, for Question 1 I think it depends on the hemisphere you are in.

My Questions

1. When is the Roman Space Telescope scheduled to launch (month and year), and what will it be designed to study?
2. What is Kepler's first law of planetary motion?
3. Give a brief description on the characteristics of young stars like T Tauri or HL Tauri.
