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. Will the constellations on the Star Finder chart shift in the sky if you observe the night sky from further south?(1 point)

Yes, they will shift south.

When you observe the night sky from a more southern latitude, the positions of the constellations will indeed shift, and you will see different portions of the sky compared to viewing from 34° N latitude. Some constellations that are visible at 34° N may not be visible at lower latitudes, while you may be able to see additional constellations that are not visible from further north.
