In the night sky, there are seemingly infinite stars to look at. During the day, the only star that you can see is the Sun.
Technically you could, but most people refer to the sky as our atmosphere... past our "sky" is space. On the contrary, many people look at the stars and say "look at the beautiful sky," but the sky is generally referred to as our atmosphere.
The night.
The night.
No light from the Sun is reaching the dark side, once you look in the night sky it would be easier to look at Mars because no light is reaching the side you are on or Mars.
ORIGINAL ANSWER:"Yes because you see something happen a few milliseconds after they actually happen." ADDITIONAL ANSWER: The person who answered this before me is technically correct. But another way to see into the past is just to look up at the night sky. Every star that you see is actually in the past. This is because light takes time to travel across the vast distance of space. Even the light that we see from our Sun is 8 minutes in the past.
look in the sky at night. The clearer the sky the more stars you see. Go to the country side and in a clear night there are lots and lots of stars!
it depends what you look for if you look for a planet you might want to head to a field on a cloudless night with no street lights
The first to look up at the night sky.
