Para un observador en latitud 25º S, ¿qué astros son anticircumpolares (altura siempre ≤ 0º)?For an observer at 25ºS, which bodies never rise (altitude always ≤ 0º)?
Show the answer
Correct answer: d) Declinations between 65ºN and 90ºN
Why it is correct

Why the others are not
- a) Many of those rise.
