If observing the sky from the northern hemisphere which direction would the stars appear to move that are near the north celestial?
When in the northern hemisphere, looking north toward the celestial "axis" or North Star (aka Polaris), stars acan be oberserved to move all directions. To the south of Polaris (looking "above" it), the stars and other things move East to West across the sky. To the north of Polaris (looking "below" it), the stars and other things move West to East across the sky. Both are true for short distances, because in fact, the direction it moves is actually in a smaller and smaller circle the closer the star appears to be to Polaris. With a camera that can take long exposures (10-20 minutes or even hours) this circular motion can easily be seen.
