Thousands of stars, five of the eight planets, 88 summer constellations, the Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies — all with the naked eye. With binoculars you can easily see Saturn’s rings. Yes, Saturn. Look for planets no higher than 30 degrees above the horizon (hold your fist at arm’s length, three fists up from the horizon is about 30°).

Stars sparkle because of helium and hydrogen gas within the star; when the gas burns out, so does the star. The Milky Way is constantly losing stars and producing new ones — about seven new stars per year! With an estimated 2 billion stars and more than half older than our 4.5 billion-year-old sun, the Milky Way is considered a young galaxy. Makes you feel like a kid again, don’t it?
