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.

Why are the constellations seen as in the summer sky different than those in the winter sky?

The winter night sky is the opposite direction from the summer night sky. The constellations you see in winter are on the other side of the sun in summer, so you would only see them in summer during a total solar eclipse.


Are constellations different in each season?

because during the summer the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun and the southern hemisphere is tilted away. this tilt of our planet is about 21 degrees and shows us different views of the night sky as we tilt back a forth with the seasons. So in the winter you would see a lower portion of the sky and in the summer you are seeing a higher portion of the sky. You will be able to see many of the same constellations (called circumpolar constellations since they are near the poles and can seen year round) but constellations closer to the horizon and closer to the equator will change


What 3 constellations would you be able to see in June in Gilbert above the southern horizon?

I see 21 "Gilbert"s in 19 states in the US, including 2 in Ohio and 2 in Pennsylvania,and several more in other countries.All of the constellations of the zodiac can be seen from anywhere in the world outsidethe polar regions, including Scorpius, Sagittarius, and Capricorn conveniently placed forevening viewing in June.If regular sleep is not an issue, then every constellation of the zodiac except Capricornshould be visible somewhere above the horizon at sometime of the night in June.If the questioner could specify his location with more precision, we could in turn put afiner point on a custom list of constellations.

Why aren't all constellations visible all year?

Circumpolar constellations are visible all year long, depending on where you are viewing them from. At the north pole, or the south pole, some constellations are visible year-round, these are the circumpolar constellations. On the equator, there are no circumpolar constellations because of the earths rotation, that is why circumpolar constellations are at the "poles". Some of the circumpolar constellations can also be viewed from other parts of the same hemisphere, such as the big dipper and the little dipper, although they are circumpolar, they are also seen in other parts of the northern hemisphere. Circumpolar constellations in the northern hemisphere, will never be seen at the south pole, and vice versa. I hope this helped.
