Southern Hemisphere Star Viewing

Am I right that the Southern Hemisphere sees exactly the same in their northern sky as the N.H. sees in it's southern sky.

But the S.H. sees what the N.H. can't see in their southern and the N.H. sees what the S.H. can't see in the northern sky God thst was hard to type after a glass of red wine or two.

Does this make any sense?

No.

Actually, I know what you're talking about, and yes, from the NH there is a lot of the southern sky you can't see (and vice versa). At the equator you can see about half of each on any given night.

But the stuff the North can see that is in the S.H. (like Sagittarius and Scorpio) is upside-down in the S.H.
