Can people in the southern hemisphere see the same constellations as people in the northern hemisphere?
No. One of the better known constellations in the northern hemisphere is the big dipper. People in the southern hemisphere can't see this. In the south the well known constellation is the southern cross, and you can't see this in the northern hemisphere.
Why do people in the northern hemisphere see different constellations than people in the southern hemisphere?
People in the northern and southern hemispheres see different constellations due to the curvature of the Earth and its position in space. Each hemisphere has a different vantage point, which means that certain stars and constellations are obscured by the Earth itself for observers on the opposite side. Additionally, some constellations are located closer to the celestial poles, making them visible only from specific latitudes. As a result, the night sky appears distinct in each hemisphere.
Why do constellations look different in the northern hemisphere than the southern hemisphere?
Constellations appear different in the northern and southern hemispheres due to the Earth's spherical shape and its position relative to the stars. As observers move from one hemisphere to the other, they see different portions of the night sky, with some constellations being visible only in one hemisphere. For example, the Southern Cross is prominent in the southern hemisphere but not visible in the north. Additionally, the rotation of the Earth causes different stars to rise and set, altering the observable constellations.

Why can we only see the constellations in the north of the celestial sphere?
This is true if you live in the northern hemisphere. You can't see the southern stars because the bulk of the Earth is in the way. Different constellations are visible in each hemisphere, a constellation in the northern sky can be difficult or impossible to see from the southern hemisphere of the Earth, and vice versa. The reason is that the axis of the Earth's rotation is fairly constant. In its annual journey around the Sun it generally points in the same direction; people in the northern hemisphere will generally see the same constellations year round, and the same in the southern hemisphere. Those living near the equator see some of both. The tilt of the Earth's axis also makes some constellations somewhat seasonal, because of a slight change of the viewer's angle to the night sky.

Why you cannot see Big Dipper constellation in Australia?
The Big Dipper is part of the Ursa Major constellation, which is primarily visible in the northern hemisphere. Australia is located in the southern hemisphere, where the northern sky is generally not visible. As a result, observers in Australia cannot see the Big Dipper, though they can enjoy other constellations that are prominent in their hemisphere.
