Why Do Stars in the Night Sky Change With the Seasons? : Planets, Comets, Constellations & More 

I am more intrigued to find out why are the relative positions of the stars in the night sky remain pretty much the same.

There just one problem. From what i have observed the night sky doesn't change. Might vary a bit , but basically same shy .She did explain exactly what should occur. But no

am i the only one trippin on how she's writing backwards without even thinking about it???

OK, it makes total sense, now, isn't our whole solar system moving across the galaxy as well? That theory would only work if we're stationary in the exact same sport every year. So if we're moving across the galaxy, why do we continue to see Orion, big deeper, etc .

When i walk with my dog i see the same stars every day. Sometime what lower, sometimes what higher.... But the same stars tho...

I swear I see the same stars all year round

This is so brilliant! I just read three articles but couldn't visualise it. A simple diagram can do what a lengthy text cannot. Thank you.

The reason the Big Dipper and Polaris is always visible is because they are close to the north celestial pole and thus actually more “above” the earth than off to the side. So you will always see those no matter what side of the sun you are.

This was very good but I wish it had been one minute longer. She needed to explain the gradual change. 1:20 Notice that when Pegasus is high in the sky at midnight in the Spring (top image) you can see Orion and Lyra on the horizons at the same time. So we see the same stars throughout much of the year, but in different parts of the sky depending on the seasons.

Why is the northern star always there. If I fly to different parts of the planet I can see it and it is there all year round. Orion's belt is always there.

Guys she was JUST pointing out the "changing" starts or better said the ones we are not able to see on some seasons. What you see in her video is a 2D Top down view of earth orbiting Sol. So she is NOT talking about the circumpolar starts. Those are the ones u can always see at the night sky, assuming u don´t have a lot of light waste around (big citys). Obviously those Stars are again different form the viewers position, like Northern Hemisphere (London) or Southern-hemisphere (Cap Town). If u break a school globe in 2 pieces around the equator u got 2 hemispheres). All that works course the axial tilt of the Earth is between 22.1° and 24.5°. So if you have a school globe at home place him on a table and walk with a flash light (SOL) around the globe, may some one turns it while u doing it but anyway, imagine there are little dudes on the globe, you will notice, no matter your position( Sol), that peoples of the north or south part should always be able to see the most part of you´r ceiling or you´r table. But not the bookshelf behind ya all the time or the window or your girlfriend making fun at ya..... so i hope everyone is now able to understand how it works and that she was not talking about the circumpolar starts. Oh and for the smartarses...yes i know that the earth orbit inclination is not 0.0° and the distance is changing also. Therefore it has also an influence on viewable starts on the sky but this is just an easy explanation....

Ok it’s official. I’m in love.

For the people who were wondering. If you're in the north you can see the northern stars year round because they are above the earth. If you're in the south you can see the southern stars year round because the're underneath the earth.

Can you explain why the Pole star is always there?

What seems to work to explain this phenomenon... we revolve around a stable axel, facing the polestar... this star is always in the same position, even at daytime constellations rise and set on the sky... we only see a percentage of the stars at one given glance... If the sun would not be there, in 24 hours we would see all there is to see from our altitude on the planet, every day...366 times in a year of 365 days...

She's got me thinking about heavenly bodies...

But why do we see the big dipper every night all year?

Okay but why do we see the big dipper all year round?

Please explain why I can see the Southern Cross tonight, but in 6months time, when earth is on the other side of the sun, and I'm facing 180° , the Southern Cross IS STILL SOUTH !

she's gorgeous, there needed to be more of this video!

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

gorgeous cosmic genius

I came here to find an answer to; If the earth is rotating, why are the stars stationary? But I got another question from the video; I assume the lady is left handed, but does she write from right to left to that it is readable from the opposite side? Forgive my ignorance but please answer if you have an answer to either or the two questions.

Hi, Really nice video!! I would like to know if the positions of the stars, planets and constellations like their coordinates remain the same relative to earth throughout the years? for example, the position of the sirius star would be same with respect to earth at 12:00 PM on 03/02/2024 compared to what it was on 03/02/1988 at 12:00 PM??

Why are the same stars always there day and night? If the sun was darken we would see the same star we see at night just rotated. Wouldnt we see new stars and constellations ?

Could someone please give me a more details about how we see some constellations the whole year long? I'd like to be more informed about that. thank you.

Do the stars move of it is just the earth, or both?

The only problem is I see the same sky no matter what time of year it is

Um...the stats are in the exact same spot they were when i was a kid. Im 42 now. So what you said makes no sense.

I missed everything she said... But this was a great video

I read all comments, and questions and answers... Yeah, i ain't gonna go to universe after all, i'm still lost here on earth

As we know planets of solar have different speeds, e.g the closest planet to the sun is faster in making an orbit around the sun !! Now the question is why every year we see the same big bear on the same spots (maybe little change)? Does it mean our sun and all other stars swim the same speed in our Milky Way? As I already mentioned, the closer we are to the center faster we are to compare with ones further (right).. the maneuver is here, from old star books we can know that they have observed the same patterns, so almost no changes hun?!? I'll expect an answer. Thanks

I didn´t nderstand completely: Some people say that we see different constelations due to the day is not exactly 24hs, but 23:56, so, each day, constelations come 4 minutes early. Well, what happened if the earth complete a rotation in exactly 24hs and not 23:56, would we see different skies ? How ?

What abject like star moves in sky during evening to night at very average speed and long range.

super explanation ok but actually the constellation will move or their movements are negligible from earth considering their distances

It's never a completely different direction, because the view changes all night from early evening to dawn. Draw yourself a diagram.

I wonder if she's single.. anyway. Why do the stars not spin correctly with the planet rotation???

She is just gorgeous

Why do we see the same night sky every day of the year? Doesn’t make sense

man she is the hottest astro physicist i have ever seen

Dayym baby you can be my home tutor?

You just talk about the equator sides views north and south poles is imposible to see the same constellation all year round to be more specific we can not see Polaris at the North Pole the all year or sigma octantis at the South Pole the all year the planet is not in one same spot traveling or rotating around the sun in a year . Try to explain north and south hemisphere

But we see same stars every month.

How can we even see the same stars in the first fuckin place if we supposedly following a sun thats moving we should never see the same stars ever again every night the only way this is possible is if the earth never moves, just wobbles back and forth hence the reasons season change and we supposedly see different stars which isnt even true in itself

Hello dear..

bs. we see the same stars in the sky all year around. the southern cross can be seen in Australia 12 months of the year. they move a few degrees each night but they are always the same stars from winter through to summer

Hahahahaha, you're adorable......

I love you 😂

whats her @??

This woman is beautiful 😍

Hottest astronomer EVER!!😂😘

This did not help me

#FlatEarth #FE Flat Earth... Earth not spining... Done is spining on the earth. how can the Polaris stay stabil for 365 days?

Erm, I see orion all year round 🤯

Nice nice you like i like 🤤

Me: Can you explain the entire universe to me? I only have 5min to live eHow: Hold my beer!

The stars are in in our Sun solar system, or in Milky Way galaxy, or in other galaxies? I think that the stars that we see are in our Sun solar system from the video explanation? We shouldn't see the same stars every year, if the stars are in the Milky Way galaxy or other galaxies, because the sun is orbiting the Milky Way galaxy every 200 million years not orbiting around the Sun every year like earth, and all galaxies are also flying through space in the Universe.

But we do see the same stars every night, well almost the same.

The earth is flat

That literally did not explain sh!t...

Bs....the earth doesn't move....QED

*....HOW MANY OF YOU ARE LOOKING AT HER FACE...?*

Lol but we always see the same constellations... No reason was given why

I see the same stars in the sky every night through out the year. So???

Crap, I see the Big Dipper in the same place every night

they can't explain it ,

The earth is flat...
