What can we see in the night sky?

Contrary to what _____ werewolves prefer (just kidding!), from an astronomical point of view, it's better to gaze at the sky on a New Moon night. Because with a full moon we only see the brightest stars and planets. On the new moon, in front of a cloudless sky and, preferably, far from a city with lots of lights, we can see a fascinating spectacle, which is a dark sky, dotted with bright spots – there are many stars and almost all planets! It's very difficult to differentiate planets from stars in a single night of observation, because their brightness gets confused, but if you're interested, you can become a star.
