Can you see different constellations in different parts of the world?

The constellations don't change, but the positions of the stars in the sky do. You have

to go a great distance from Earth to be able to observe the constellations emerge as

distinct forms, even though they are often not stars that are physically connected to one

another. The constellations would seem exactly the same everywhere in the

solar system. On the other hand, because of Earth's orbit around the Sun,

constellations will shift in location towards the west if you watch them all year long.
