Answer 1

When looking up at the stars, the neck is primarily in **hyperextension**. Hyperextension refers to the movement whereby the angle between the head and the torso increases beyond the neutral position. In this case, as you tilt your head back to gaze upward, the cervical spine undergoes hyperextension.
