Ask Anything: Beginner Astronomy India

Use this thread for questions that feel too small for a full post. Examples:

• What is that bright object near the Moon?
• Why can I see Jupiter but not galaxies?
• Which constellation should I learn first from a city?
• Is my sky too polluted for astronomy?
• Should I buy binoculars or a telescope?

Good answers should be patient, practical, India-aware, and free of gatekeeping.
