So I just got Space Marine from GMG and decided to get a few of the cheaper DLC on Steam for giveaways since I imagine a lot of other people purchased it today (or already have it, of course.)

Won't be able to do all the giveaways because I don't have any feedback yet at once, so I'll break it up. That means check this post to see if I've edited in the later giveaways. I'll list which question correlates to which DLC and they are all for the cheap ones (tight on funds, sorry!--keep a lookout for when ME 1/2 go on 75% sale again and I'll make another puzzle).

Each Question will have one answer which you will put in place of the examplelink text. http://bit.ly/isexamplelink

The answers will be proper cased if it's a proper noun, and lower case if it's not. If you think the answer has spaces don't include that in the URL, so if the answer is 'Monukai smells' just type Monukaismells. Likewise if the answer contains any articles (a, an, the) in the front of the answer, drop them (the pony = pony).

Once these open, they'll be up for one hour.

Remember: http://bit.ly/is[insertanswerhere]

Now to the questions:

Last night I took my dog out for a walk, since it was a clear night, and one of the warmest nights in February I've ever witnessed, I took my binoculars out with me as well. I live on a road that isn't too busy so I let my dog off the leash, pocketed it, and turned my binoculars skyward. Can you help me identify what I saw?

A. CLOSED (FOR Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Golden Relic Bolter) While trying to get a glimpse up Orion's kilt, I noticed three faint stars clumped together between Orion's belt and feet. When I fixed my binoculars on it, I noticed that the middle 'star' wasn't really a star at all, but instead a bright blurry object. What type of object is this?

Answer: nebula

B. CLOSED (FOR Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Traitor Legions Pack) Afterwards, I knew I could find at least one galaxy if I did a bit of searching. After a few minutes I found it! It's one of the three largest galaxies in the local cluster, and it's on a crash course with the Milky Way! It also shares the name of the constellation it resides in. What is it's name? (Hint: It's not Triangulum!) The answer will work with or without 'galaxy' tagged at the end.

Answer: Andromeda or Andromedagalaxy

C. CLOSED (FOR Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Golden Relic Chainsword) After checking out Andromeda, I started directing my gaze back towards Orion when I noticed a tightly packed cluster of stars in the constellation of the ragin' bull. This is one of the easiest to spot open clusters with the naked eye. What is the name of this cluster also known as the Seven Sisters?

Answer: Pleiades

D. CLOSED (FOR Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Emperor’s Elite Pack) Finally, I couldn't help but feast my eyes on the moon. Even with just my binoculars I could see the magnificent crater rays coming from this crater. Named after an astronomer, and it's not Copernicus! He may be mad, Brahe. What is this crater named?

Answer: Tycho

I hope you found the difficulty of these worthy of the price (re: easy).

Encore question! Got good feedback and got rochard for free due the IGN prime thing. Feeling giddy so got one more!

E. (FOR Warhammer 40000: Space Marine - Blood Angels Veteran Armour Set) Me and my good friends Mizar and his brother were hanging out in Ursa Major last night, what is his brother's name? (Hint: brother is used figuratively, has no relation to the meaning of the names.)

also sorry, in the edit box I have them numbered 1,2,3,4 but it shows up when I hit enter as 1,2,1,2 x_x and for some reason the answer for #1 doesn't show up either (which is nebula). sorry 'bout that!
