Tonight at midnight, you're in the middle of the night side of the earth. The sun
is behind you, the earth is between you and the sun, and it's dark. You look up
in the sky and you see some stars and constellations.
Six months from today, the earth has carried you halfway around its orbit, and
you're on the other side of the sun. Where are those same stars now ? They're
straight in the direction of the sun! And now when you go out at midnight and
look at the stars, you're looking in completely the opposite direction from where
you were looking six months ago. No wonder you're seeing different stars!
