Astronomy for Everyman

Posted by chrislintott in Uncategorized

Whoever set the Guardian’s Everyman crossword this week was obviously thinking astronomically.

1 down is ‘Astronomer sees trail rising over one constellation (7)’ which I got straight away, but 2 down – ‘Rhea spinning, orbiting close to host planet (5)’ took me most of an evening for the penny to drop.

Answers to follow when their competition closes on Saturday; all hail the Guardian for making their excellent crosswords – certainly the most amusing and personable of the major cryptics – free online.
