When we look at the night sky are we seeing the universe exactly as it is?
No, by the time star light reaches your eyes, the stars have moved on. So we see the stars in a position as they once where.
What are some star maps you'll see on your way to Mars?
On the way to Mars you will see all the constellations that you can see from Earth, but they will all be visible 24 hours a day (except the ones that are blocked by the Sun). Because the stars are all much further away than Mars, the constellations will look exactly the same.
What stars can you see from Jupiter?
From Jupiter's orbit, the stars would appear exactly as they do from Earth, with one exception: the Sun, which would be smaller. From below the clouds on Jupiter, you wouldn't be able to see any stars.
Are the stars visible 7 pm still visible at 11 pm in their original position why do you see so?
Yes, relative to more distant stars, their position will not have changed. See should be changed to stay in the question.
Can you see stars on venus?
No. The surface of Venus is obscured by thick clouds. If you could fly above the clouds then you would see the same stars that you see from Earth.

Will you be able to see the same constellations next month?
All the stars you see in the sky at any time tonight will be in exactly the same places a month from now, only 2 hours earlier.
Can you see stars from Ganymede?
Yes. The stars you see from Ganymede are the same ones you see from Earth.
Why can't we see every constellation all year long?
You cannot see the same constellations or various constellations due to the rotation of the Earth and your position on it. So, someone in China won't be seeing the same stars you will tonight, but you won't be seeing the stars you looked at tonight a week from now.
What stars can you see when you stand on the moon?
The same stars as you can see when you stand on the Earth, but more clearly.
Do all parts of the earth see the same stars at the same time?
No, because one part is at day-time, they cannot see any stars. If they could, they would see different stars, for they are on the opposite side of Earth.

From Jupiter's orbit, the stars would appear exactly as they do from Earth, with one exception: the Sun, which would be smaller. From below the clouds on Jupiter, you wouldn't be able to see any stars.

Can you see the moon and the stars at the same time?
Yes on a clear sky you can clearly see the moon and the stars as well.
How do you know the time using stars?
Look at the position of the stars. See what degree they are at and you'll know the time. That's how ships used to navigate. The position of the stars will allow a knowledgable observer to tell the time. The observable stars depends on location and time of the year.
How come you can see the stars?
Stars give out light energy, that is they are luminous. Thus we see them for the same reason we see a lighted torch bulb.
