The constellations as seen from different places

[remcot]

Some questions: Are the constellations changed as seen from<br />1 At 100 AU distance at the place where Pioneer and Voyagers are right now?<br />2 From Alpha Centauri at 4 lightyears?<br />3 In which constellation is our Solarsystem an the Sun as seen from Alpha Centauri?<br />

1. No<br /><br />2. Just a tad<br /><br />3. IIRC, it's the constellation Andromeda (it would be antipodal to alpha centauri's location in the southern sky). <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

A little tip:<br /><br />Download the free program Celestia where you can move freely around our solar system and stars in our part of the galaxy. I've been using this program a lot to answer such questions myself.<br /><br />http://www.shatters.net/celestia/<br /><br /><img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff9900">----------------------------------</font></p><p><font color="#ff9900">My minds have many opinions</font></p> </div>
