Why are there some stars that we can never see?

The stars aren’t visible because they are too faint. The astronauts in their white spacesuits appear quite bright, so they must use short shutter speeds and large f/stops to not overexpose the pictures. The same thing happens if you try to take a picture of someone under a dark, starry sky.

Are there stars that we never see?

— there are a total of just over 9,000 stars that the human eye can discern. Every single one of them is contained within our own galaxy, though, so none of these are millions of light years away. But the vast majority of stars we can see are only a few hundred light years distant, or even less.

Why do observers in the Northern Hemisphere see some celestial objects above the celestial equator for more than 12 hours?

If you are in the northern hemisphere, celestial objects north of the celestial equator are above the horizon for more than 12 hours because you see more than half of their total 24-hour path around you. Notice that stars closer to the NCP are above the horizon longer than those farther away from the NCP.

Why is it that we can only see certain stars constellations?

Why Do We See Different Constellations During the Year? If observed through the year, the constellations shift gradually to the west. This is caused by Earth’s orbit around our Sun. In the summer, viewers are looking in a different direction in space at night than they are during the winter.

What is the point on the celestial sphere directly above the observer?

The point on the celestial sphere directly overhead for an observer is the zenith. An imaginary arc passing through the celestial poles and through the zenith is called the observer’s meridian. The nadir is the direction opposite the zenith: for example, straight down from a spacecraft to the center of the planet.

How do the stars move describe the movement of the stars in the night sky?

These apparent star tracks are in fact not due to the stars moving, but to the rotational motion of the Earth. As the Earth rotates with an axis that is pointed in the direction of the North Star, stars appear to move from east to west in the sky.

What do you think is the reason that there are only five constellation which are visible in the northern hemisphere all year long?

A s Earth travels around the Sun, the nighttime side of Earth faces a different part of outer space. Because of this, different constellations are visible, depending on the time of year. But certain constellations can be seen all year long in some places because they are above the North Pole or below the South Pole.

What causes constellations to be visible only at certain times of the year?

If you look at the night sky different times of the year you see different constellations. This change is due to the motion of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun. Each day a few stars are visible in the east that were not visible the night before.
