What can be seen on a clear night inside the solar system?

Answer 1

You can see the faint edge of the Milky Way, our galaxy. It is not a sharp edge, but appears as an indistinct band across the night sky. That is how it got its name. The cloudy appearance of the Milky Way is actually the effect of the billions of stars that are gathered near each other in our disc-like galaxy.

Answer 2

On a clear night inside the solar system, you can see stars, planets, the Moon, and on occasion, other celestial objects like comets or meteor showers. Additionally, some of the brightest stars and planets are visible to the naked eye depending on your location and time of year.

Answer 3

"On a clear day, you can see forever!"

But on a clear night, this is LITERALLY true. You can see stars, planets, moons, nebulae, other galaxies, and with a big enough telescope, you can see things so far away and so old as to go back almost to the beginning of the universe.
