Hi. Most of the brighter objects will be visible such as the Moon's craters, the phases of Venus, Mars with a little detail, Jupiter and its inner moons, Saturn's rings. Some galaxies, the Orion Nebula. Plenty to have fun so... have fun! (The H20 is Huygens 20mm focal length, 1.25 inch diameter lens. You may want to invest in a better lens because you can use it on a better scope when you get one.)

Very little beyond the craters on the Moon, Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rings (very tiny). 50mm aperture is far too small...I never recommend anything smaller than at least twice that size. The mount will be very shaky. Basically a toy, and a waste of money. You'll be better off with a 10x50 binocular, or save up for a better telescope like these:

50mm is a bit titchy. It is really the aperture more than the magnification that counts - it's all about light gathering power. But it should be good for observing the moon, and under good conditions show the moons of Jupiter and maybe a hint of Saturn's rings.
Remember, Galileo made history with an instrument worse than yours!

this more or les is binocular specs.
350/31.75=11 magnification
well the craters on the moon should look ok
but don't know the quality of the optics.
It sounds as tho you would be better off with a good pair of 80x20 binoculars than this toy
its a reasonable starting point now that you have it, to see if you are really interested in astronomy.
if not then well you haven't lost a lot.
