Since Earth rotates around its axis, everything in outher space appears to move across the night sky. The stars and other objects in outer space appear to rotate around the Earth's poles. Stars that are far from the poles may rise and set over the local horizon; other stars closer to the poles never set for some location. When a camera is setup on a tripod and making a long exposure, the stars will appear as trails in the frame.
