Same stars, different perspective

As a Boy Scout in Seattle, I camped year round.  On those few occasions when the sky was clear in the winter, I loved looking into the deep darkness and finding Orion in the South.  Orion is the Southern Hunter, rising soon after sunset and roaming the night sky. 

In Uganda, the night sky is clear more often than not.  But Orion is no longer my southern winter marker.  Instead, I sometimes find him perched almost directly above me in the very middle of the night sky.  They're mostly the same amazing stars I gazed at as a boy in Seattle, but somehow the perspective seems to have changed considerably.  -Shauen
