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)
Yes, they will shift north.
Yes, they will shift south.
No, the motion of Earth cancels out with
the motions of stars.
No, the location of the stars in the sky is
fixed

Yes, they will shift north.
When observing the night sky from a location further south than 34° N latitude, constellations will appear to shift northward in the sky. This is because your perspective changes with your latitude; as you move south, more of the celestial sphere comes into view, and the constellations that are normally low on the northern horizon may be obscured or not visible at all.
