Do you know Titan? It is the largest moon of Saturn and the second-largest moon in our solar system. It was discovered in 1665 by Christiaan Huygens. You can see this moon near the ringed planet with a small telescope! (📸 Kevin M. Gill)

Did you know that you can see the International Space Station (ISS) with the naked eye? The station looks like a bright 'star' that crosses the sky from west to east in a few minutes. A remarkable sight! (📸 NASA)

The Pleiades, or the Seven Sisters, is the most famous open star cluster. Star clusters are groups of stars that formed in the same gas cloud and drift through space together. How many stars can you see with the naked eye in the Pleiades? (📸 Nico Carver)

Because the Moon rotates on its own axis at the same speed as it orbits the Earth, we always see the same side of the Moon. It wasn't until 1959 that a satellite took the first pictures of the far side of the Moon and we knew what it looked like. (📸 Apollo 16 Astronauts)

Have you ever heard of sidewalk astronomy? Enthusiastic stargazers set up their telescopes in the middle of a city to show people the stars. I regularly participate myself! (📸 Lindy Eva)

Did you know that the stars in most constellations are not close to each other in reality? They can be at very different distances from each other in the universe. The pattern we recognize in them from Earth is what we call a constellation. (📸 Thomas Bresson)

Have you ever seen a comet? Hale-Bopp in 1997 was the last really bright comet visible from the northern hemisphere. Comets are very unpredictable, so when the next one will appear in the sky is unknown. (📸 Philipp Salzgeber)
