Celestial bodies such as the Moon, planets like Venus and Jupiter, and constellations have predictable appearances in the night sky. The Moon goes through its phases approximately every 29.5 days, while planets follow specific orbits that dictate their visibility. Additionally, seasonal constellations change predictably throughout the year due to Earth's orbit around the Sun. Events like meteor showers and eclipses also occur on a regular schedule, allowing for anticipation of their appearances.

How does moonlight hamper our ability to view distant stars and galaxies?
Over the long run, the Moon doesn't interfere with observations of distant stars and galaxies. On any particular night, there will be an area of the sky in which the bright moonlight (especially when full or near-full) will wash out the background stars. This is because Earth's atmosphere scatters light and diffuses the glow across the sky somewhat. But last night, or tomorrow night, the Moon was/will be in a different area of the sky and our observations won't be affected. For a professional astronomer who is planning an observation of a distant object, it's important to schedule the observation for a time when the Moon isn't in that area of the sky. Fortunately, the apparent motions of the Moon are precisely predictable.
