   The stars move parallel to each other and the Celestial Equator. Since the Celestial Equator is on the Horizon, each star has constant altitude. No star rises or sets; all stars are circumpolar. Every direction on the Horizon is South, and the stars move to the right or West while the Earth moves under them, to the East.
