Some constellations are visible in New York State during April but not in October due to the Earth's position in its orbit around the Sun. As the Earth moves, different parts of the night sky become visible at different times of the year. In April, certain constellations rise earlier in the evening and are higher in the sky, while by October, the same constellations may set earlier and be obscured by the Sun's position. This shifting visibility is a result of seasonal changes in the night sky.
Some constellations are visible to New York State observers at midnight in April but not in October due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. As the Earth moves, different sections of the night sky become visible at different times of the year. In April, the night sky includes constellations that are positioned opposite the Sun, making them visible at midnight, while by October, those same constellations are positioned closer to the Sun and are not visible at that time. This cyclic visibility is a result of the changing angle of the Earth’s rotation and its position in its orbit.
