Janice Asked:

Astronomy Constellations: How far would you have to move before that would appear to change shape?

a. Cialis To the edge of the solar system
b. To the nearest stars
c. To the Sun
d. To the Moon

Personally I believe it'd have to be to the edge of the solar system, or at the very least to the sun. Don't think it could be as close as the moon. Anybody know the answer?

Reply:

To the nearest stars..,

If you move to Alpha Centauri, you'd see a "new" bright yellow star in Cassiopeia. That would be the sun, of course. However, you have to considerably move for the astronomy constellations to move. I would say a hundred light-years would be enough to distort most of the constellations you see.
