The NASA Star Finder charts are constructed based on the visible night sky at 34˚ N latitude, about as far north of the equator as Los Angeles, California and Wichita Falls, Texas. Will the constellations on the Star Finder chart shift in the sky if you observe the night sky from further south?(1 point)

Answer 1

Yes, they will shift south.

When observing the night sky from a different latitude, the constellations will appear to shift in position. If you move further south from 34° N latitude, you will be able to see more southern constellations that are not visible from that latitude, while some northern constellations will be lower in the sky or may not be visible at all. Thus, the perceived layout of constellations will change with your change in latitude.
