Constellations appear different today than in the past due to the phenomenon of stellar proper motion, where stars move through space over time. Additionally, the Earth's axial precession causes the position of stars to gradually shift in relation to the celestial coordinate system. This means that while the patterns of stars remain recognizable, their positions relative to each other and to Earth change, altering the appearance of constellations over long periods.

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.
