You-tube videos, dammit... They're the answer to every question.
I'd still like to hear the explanation of Polaris, though. Just for giggles.
If the globe-Earth was really spinning West-East 1,000 mph, orbiting the Sun counter-clockwise at 67,000 mph, spiraling around the outer-arms of the Milky Way at 500,000 mph, while shooting through the Universe at 670,000,000 mph, how is it even conceptually possible that Polaris, 2 quadrillion miles away, day after day, year after year, always maintains its alignment straight above the North Pole!? That would mean from 2 quadrillion miles away, Polaris would have to be perfectly mirroring Earth’s several simultaneous wobbling, spinning, spiraling, and shooting motions. Polaris would have to be shooting the same direction through the Universe at exactly 670,000,000 mph; it would have to be following the same 500,000 mph, 225 million year spiral around the Milky Way, and mirroring the same 67,000 mph, 365 day orbit around our Sun! Or, the Earth is stationary - as common sense and everyday experience testifies.

The thing about constellations? You can only see a small part of the sky wherever you are. The earth is just too big. Can you see dublin from london? No... same 'hemisphere'.

Hemispheres are for things that are round........I thought the earth was flat

You people need to open your eyes. I expected more open mindless from this community.
The Gods aren't the only crazies in this world.
