If you live in any kind of city the moon and sun are number 1 and 2. If you live under dark skies you can see the Milky Way stretching from northeast to southwest and if you look toward the southern horizon you can see a globular cluster of stars. If you have good eyesight you can just make out the Andromeda Galaxy, our closest neighbor. If you could see all of Andromeda it would be 5 times as wide as the moon - it is huge but faint.

Comets are balls of ice being lit up with solar winds.Nothing is cooler than ice!
As late as 2002, there is conflict on how much ice is in a comet. NASA's Deep Space 1 team, working at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, obtained high-resolution images of the surface of comet Borrelly.

You can observe moon's phases (waning and waxing), constellations with naked eyes. With telescopes, you can see more (Planets, galaxies, etc.)
