There's a location called Australia - you can see the milky way from everywhere as long as it is dark enough. When it does get dark enough, the Milky Way is really obvious.
Messier Objects.
Some dude in the old days with a skanky telescope couldn't tell if some of the objects he was gawking were comets (which he was obsessed with) so he gave them numbers.
Now if you don't have a good scope you can have a gander at them and be thankful that at least you got a better scope than Messier.
