- Southern celestial hemisphere (Wikipedia)
The southern celestial hemisphere, also called the Southern Sky, is the southern half of the celestial sphere; that is, it lies south of the celestial equator. This arbitrary sphere, on which seemingly fixed stars form constellations, appears to rotate westward around a polar axis due to Earth’s rotation.

ALGEDI (Alpha Capricorni). Though only the third brightest star in the constellation Capricornus, the “Water Goat,” Algedi is still the Alpha star, most likely because of its western-most position within the classical figure.
