That's going to depend on where you are on Earth (your latitude), and on what
date you decide to look, and on what time of day or night. You may not have
noticed that everything in the sky rotates, and every star rises, crosses the sky,
and sets, just like the sun and the moon do, and each star rises about 4 minutes
earlier every night than it did the night before. Whatever is directly overhead now,
won't be in a half hour from now.
