Six prompts, thirty seconds each. Name something nobody else would think of and it lights up as a brighter star. Common answers stay faint.
Free to play, nothing locked, no account needed. Rarity comes from what real players answer each night. Early in the night, before many people have played, scores start from an estimate and settle as answers come in.

How to play
Each prompt asks you to name something: a fruit, a Greek god, a word that rhymes with night.
You have 30 seconds. If an answer isn't accepted, you can try again for as long as time remains. Whatever is typed when time runs out counts.
Any answer on the prompt's list counts. The fewer players who gave the same answer, the brighter its star and the more light you earn (up to 100 per prompt).
Stars come in five grades: faint, visible, bright, brilliant and, for the rarest finds, supernova.
Brightness uses magnitude, like real stars: lower is brighter. A first answer most people give sits near 5. A true rarity reaches −1.
Your total sets how dark your sky is on the Bortle scale, from class 9 (inner city) to class 1 (a perfect dark-sky site).

Spelling slips, plurals and other names for the same thing are forgiven. A wrong answer costs only the seconds you spent on it. Tonight's sky counts one answer per player per prompt. Your archive scores are updated as more players finish each night. A new sky opens at midnight, your time.
