The only non-man made object in the sky (Read: Universe) are stars.

Our sun (In essence, a star) is the only natural light-producing object in our solar system. All the other lights such as the moon, other planets, nebula's etc. are reflecting the light from the sun or their stars towards us.

Comets do not produce light of their own, their light comes from the atmospheric friction created when they enter an atmosphere.
