If you live in Alaska or Norway or Greenland, you see the northern half of the sky and the Earth hides the southern half from you. You can never see Crux the Southern Cross or Canopus, the second brightest star. If you live in Australia or New Zealand or southern Chile, you can never see Polaris the North Star or the Big Dipper. But if you live at the equator, the entire sky is visible to you throughout the year as the Earth spins beneath it. Here on Guam, we’re 13 degrees north of the equator and that means that we can never see the stars and constellations inside the 13-degree circle around the south celestial pole. The south celestial pole doesn’t point to a specific star as the north celestial pole points to Polaris. There are perhaps 10 visible stars in that circle and parts of three constellations.
