NASA for $500? Test Agency Trivia Tonight

Answer: Another way to celebrate NASA's 50th anniversary today, and test your knowledge of U.S. space agency trivia.

Question: What is "Jeopardy!"?

Today at 7 p.m. on WFTV-TV Channel 9, game show host Alex Trebek will quiz "Jeopardy!" contestants on NASA history, a category presented in partnership with the Coalition for Space Exploration.

The category will be called "Happy Anniversary NASA," according to coalition press representatives.

NASA has partnered with "Jeopardy!" before. According to the show's Web site, Atlantis astronauts presented "Jeopardy!" clues while docked with the International Space Station.

While NASA marks its 50th anniversary, the trivia show this year is celebrating its 25th year on television.
