i was thinking about that recently, if that is a huge distance, does someone see the same night sky?? the same moon and stars?? because it’s a big distance i think, it would make sense for them to maybe see another set of stars further away from the ones that i see!!
i was talking about this with my long distance husband recently, if at night, he sees the same stars i see!!!
If you are located at the same latitude, you will see the same stars but at different times (like time zones). But if the separation has a north-south component, you will be able to see different stars from each other, because the stars hidden over the horizon to the north and south won’t rotate into view because the rotation is east-west.
That’s a great clarification. There is some overlap, but you’re right, they may or may not see some stars or constellations. The Southern Cross for instance, can only be seen from certain southern state in the US.
