3. Jupiter's moons

If you have a decent pair of binoculars, you should be able to see Jupiter's 4 brightest moons: Europa, Io, Ganymede, and Callisto. It's fun to track them from night to night and watch them move around.

7. It really is.

It's on the radio here. A daily minute or so describing what's visible and whatnot is just the right amount of information for me.
