Did you know?

  • In 2022 the Event Horizon Telescope, a network of radio dishes around the world, showed its first picture.
  • It weighs about four million times as much as the Sun, yet it would fit inside the orbit of Mercury.

Could you guess it from clues?

WildGuessr picks a secret animal, plant, fungus, stone, prehistoric creature or space object and you ask yes-or-no questions about it, such as its group or where it grows. The fewer clues you need, the more points you score.
