- How many stars and galaxies can be seen by the naked eye?On a visit to Yosemite in May of 1975 or 1976, I saw a very clear, very dark and moonless night sky that was studded with stars. I gazed at the sky for a long time because it was so beautiful, and in that sky I also saw galaxies. I don't remember exactly how many galaxies, but there were multiple galaxies.
- moonless night and lunar phase - Astronomy Stack ExchangeA moonless night is, as you suspect, a night in which the Moon does not appear visible in the sky.This happens once per month, when the Moon is near the Sun. Due to the proximity of the Moon and the Sun in the sky, at that time the Moon is the smallest sliver possible, and therefore not a full moon.
- How much of the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye from earth?At any one time, an average observer can see about 2,500 stars in a clear dark sky. Note that eyesight varies and sharp-eyed individuals may be able to see a half-magnitude dimmer stars than the average eye (apparent magnitude is a scale in which each integer is $2.51$ ($100^{0.2}$) times brighter or dimmer than the next consecutive integer.)
- moon phases - A moonless night - Astronomy Stack Exchange$\begingroup$ Depending on how you define 'night', the nights just before and after a new moon are also moonless, because the moon is either too close to the sun to be seen, or sets before twilight ends, or rises after twilight begins. $\endgroup$ –
