The Sun
Looking at the sun, especially through binoculars or telescopes, is very dangerous and can result in permanent blindness. Only do so if you have the correct filters in place and know what you are doing. Never look at the sun through a telescope using an eyepiece type filter as this is liable to crack under the heat.
