i was thinking about that recently, if that is a huge distance, does someone see the same night sky?? the same moon and stars?? because it’s a big distance i think, it would make sense for them to maybe see another set of stars further away from the ones that i see!!

i was talking about this with my long distance husband recently, if at night, he sees the same stars i see!!!

    A good way to think about this is time zones. The sun is in a different spot depending on what time zone you’re in, so will everything else be in the sky. Also, it depends on seasons because the earth tilts on its axis.

    Planets, the “stars” that don’t twinkle, are sometimes between us and the sun (Mercury and Venus). Those planets have crazy patterns and are the evening and morning stars. The planets that aren’t between us and the sun act consistently (the rest).

    Our moon travels around us and isn’t attached to the sun, but is in the earth’s orbit. That’s why a lunar calendar and a sun calendar are so different.
