By watching the night skies and observing stars, planets, nebulae, and galaxies, stargazers can start to understand the vast Universe and all it encompasses. Astronomers picture the night sky as a starry sphere around Earth—“the celestial sphere”—which allows them to find their way around it and track the movements of night-sky objects as the Earth rotates.
