Ok so we revolve around the sun. At nighttime in January we face away from the sun to see the nighttime sky and stars.

6 months later in July we’re on the opposite side of the sun and now again at nighttime we face away from the sun.

But this direction is now 180 degrees away from the January direction… but the nighttime sky is still the same

How is that possible

  • the only things that are visible all year around, are circumpolar objects. these are objects that are close to the north or south pole respectively. if you sit on the northern hemisphere, you will not see the southern ones ever. even wirh these you will notice a different orientation if you compare them hour by hour for summer and winter.
