question on stillness of starsi | |

So it only appears that the stars don't move or move with us because it takes such a long time, but they aren't all moving at the same speed or even in the same direction. We just don't live long enough to see this happening. The positions of stars in the sky is barely any different now from how it was in ancient times. |
