If you stand at any point in the earth's northern hemisphere, the stars appear to move counterclockwise
around the north pole of the sky.
If you stand at any point in the earth's Southern Hemisphere, the stars appear to move clockwise
around the south pole of the sky.
Both of these appearances are exactly that ... appearance. The stars don't move, at least not fast enough
for a human being to perceive their motion over the course of a lifetime. The apparent motion of the stars
is due to the rotation of the earth, which continually rotates a person's direction of view.
