If you live near a remote area, drive out there on a moon less night and have a look If you can get away from city lights and just stare up, you will see how black it is and the longer you stay there the more you will see.

If you are lucky, you will see shooting stars, maybe satellites (they are like shooting stars but much slower and do not blink like planes do) and maybe even what look like clouds starting to form but do not really move or change - that last one is all of the stars in our galaxy. If you have binoculars, look at the cloud or even individual stars and you will see them expand into clusters of stars!
