There are 88 constellations in the night sky, but I can never see that many, why?

Constellations in sight depend on:
• Season (where the sun is)
• Hemisphere (where I am. The Earth is in the way of some.)

C. Circumpolar Constellations
• Can be seen all year long
• Never fully set below the horizon
• Appear to move counter clockwise around Polaris (North Star)
• Caused by Earth’s Rotation
![Page 19: Constellations & Stars - Hammer Science€¦ · constellations & a star cluster 1. Canis Major-(Big Dog) follow the line made by the 3 stars of Orion’s belt down to the left –Sirius-](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042811/5f9fe26e1215b90685404322/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

• The number of stars seen as circumpolar depends on the observers latitude
• Further North the observer lives, the more stars will appear circumpolar
• Earth turns west to east
• Sky appears to turn east to west

What does this mean?
• Costs cut once the system is improved.
• Cheaper launches = Cheaper price tags on satellites.
• Cheaper satellites = Cheaper phone, tv, gps for transportation industry
• Testing the system for Mars.
