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)

Question

No, the location of the stars in the sky is fixed.

No, the motion of Earth cancels out with the motions of stars.

Yes, they will shift south.

Yes, they will shift north.

Answer 1

Yes, they will shift south.

When you observe the night sky from a location further south, you will see different constellations that are not visible from a location further north. The stars and constellations appear to shift position in the sky due to the observer's change in latitude. Therefore, as you move south, constellations that are normally visible from 34˚ N latitude will appear lower in the sky or may become invisible, while new constellations that are only visible from southern latitudes will appear.
