There is no such thing as a northeastern hemisphere. Hemisphere comes from Greek and means half globe or half orb. Northeast would result in a quarter globe; the part that the northern and the eastern hemisphere both cover. The northern hemisphere is the part of the earth that lies North of the equator (i.e. everything between the equator and the north pole). The southern hemisphere, as you would have guessed, is the opposite. The eastern hemisphere is the part of the earth that lies east of the 0-meridian (the north-south linh that runs through Greenwich, London). The western hemisphere, again, is the opposite. They meet on the opposite side of the earth at 180°, approximately on the date/time border. France is on the northern hemisphere and the major part of it, is on the eastern hemisphere.

What direction do cold currents flow in the northern hemisphere?
warm surface currents come from the polar and temperate latitudes, and they tend to flow towards the equator. Like the warm surface currents, mainly atmospheric forces drive them. Gyres form when the major ocean currents connect. Water flows in a circular pattern-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the Southern hemisphere.
Can same star constellations be seen from Europe and Australia?
Some of them, yes. Constellations along the Zodiac can be seen from either hemisphere, but constellations well away from the celesial equator cannot be seen very far in the other hemisphere. For example, Ursa Major is not visible in Australia, and the Southern Cross is not visible in Europe or North America. Most of the "official" constellations were named by northern hemisphere astronomers, or European navigators sailing in southern waters. Look at how many southern hemisphere constellations have a nautical theme; the Telescope, the Octant, the Quadrant. Even Cetus, the Whale, was named by sailors, not people who LIVED there.
