To the moon and back: Take this quiz on celebrities, groups with โmoonโ in their names
Monday marks National Moon Day, but of course, the day isnโt really about famous people, bands or items that have โmoonโ in their names. (Still, that didnโt stop us from creating this quiz!) National Moon Day is all about the first moon landing, which took place 51 years ago on this day and saw Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin become the first humans to ever step foot on the moon. But instead of coming up with a quiz about the various geological features of the moon or astronautical engineering, we thought it would be more fun to come up with a little test on people, artists or general items in entertainment and pop culture that are loosely tied to the word โmoon.โHopefully, you can achieve a score that is out of this world.
