Finally, click here to travel to the South Pole. The south celestial pole is directly overhead. All visible stars are circumpolar, and each star maintains a constant elevation as the sky turns.

The sky rotates in a similar manner as at the North Pole, but the stars you see are completely different. Not a single star in this hemisphere of the sky can be seen from the North Pole!

If you scroll around, you will see the Southern Cross two-thirds of the way up the sky, Sirius is 17 degrees above the northern horizon, and Orion is upside down with his head below the horizon and his feet in the air.
