The locations of stars in the sky relative to
one another do not appear to the naked eye to change, and as a result stars are
often considered to be fixed in position. Many unaware stargazers falsely
assume that each star has its own permanent home in the nighttime sky.
In reality, though, stars are always moving, but because of the tremendous distances between stars themselves and from stars to Earth, the changes are barely perceptible here.
In reality, though, stars are always moving, but because of the tremendous distances between stars themselves and from stars to Earth, the changes are barely perceptible here.
An example of a rather fast-moving star
demonstrates why this misconception prevails; it takes approximately 200 years
for a relatively rapid star like Bernard's star to move a distance in the skies
equal to the diameter of the earth's moon. When the apparently negligible
movement of the stars is contrasted with the movement of the planets, the stars
are seemingly unmoving.
