Southwest sky? You do realize that the sky rotates every 24 hours, right?

Re: southwest sky

Also, not everyone sees the same exact sky - for someone in Australia, the sky looks a lot different to the southwest right now than it does for someone in Maine.

Re: southwest sky

To top it off, if you look southwest every day at the same time and same location, you'll see different constellations as the Earth orbits the Sun.
