The locations of constellations in the night sky change gradually over the course of a night due to Earth's rotation, but their positions relative to each other remain consistent over longer periods of time. However, because of the Earth's precession, the positions of constellations do shift slightly over longer timescales, about 1 degree every 72 years.
