Horizon
Is the horizon shown a real physical horizon, or an imaginary plane that extends from the observer and Earth out to the stars?
Can the observer shown see an object located below the horizon?
Is there a star that is in an unobservable position?
When a star travels from being below the observer’s horizon to being above the observer’s horizon, is that star rising or setting?

Take out a piece of paper and put your name and student ID # on it along
with your answer!!

Earth’s rotation
causes the Sun, Planets,
Moon and stars to appear to move when viewed from
Earth

Nightly Motion of the Stars
• Imagine looking toward the East as a star rises above your horizon - what does it do after that?

Nightly Motion of the Stars
• For stars (the Moon and planets) that appear in the southern sky: Stars first rise near the eastern horizon, move upward and toward the south, and then move down and set near the western horizon.

Nightly Motion of the Stars
• Looking North: Stars appear to move counter-clockwise around the stationary North Star (Polaris) – we call these circumpolar stars.
![Page 37: What do you think? Do the stars stay in the same position in the sky all day/night long? Do we see the same stars all year round every night?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c0281a28abf838cd6ee0/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Looking North: Circumpolar Stars
– Circumpolar stars seem to move counter-clockwise around the stationary North Star.
– These constellations and stars are visible any night of the year in the NORTHERN sky because they never rise or set!
– Examples: Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Draco, Cepheus, and Cassiopeia
