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
This resurfaced a really old memory from when I was like 8 or 9 maybe.
We had a homework assignment (kind of) for school, where we had to go out and pick a star from a spot in our backyards or wherever, and then for each night over 2 weeks we had to track the stars position relative to our position we chose on night 1.
This was around the late 90s by that point, and I always thought it was pretty cool to get our young imaginations going on the stars beyond ☺️
