Hi, This is homework and I really need to get it done soon. Any ideas on the answer?
-
There is no up or down in space and stars have no particular asymmetry so it does not make any difference which way you see them.
It wouldn't really matter for terrestrial use either if you used a camera and rotated the image afterwards. But if you are using your eyes it would make you feel weird and confused about which way to move the scope, so binoculars have a prism to invert the image.
