No. They would both have the same constellations. Some stars may seem dimmer, or brighter. Others may not even be visible at all!

So if you are asking if Martian constellations might be the same, possibly. So yes and no.

Some things in the constellations might be a teensy bit off, but not really enough to notice. They would move differently, however, since Mars' rotation speed and axis aren't the exact same as ours. But they'd still be the same, noticeable constellations.

This is a very interesting question. I had never really thought about it before, seeing is how I don't have the right stuff to look at the stars very closely, i.e. binnoculars/telescopes. But i'm glad i have a good answer to it now because once i read the question i immedeatly wanted to know the answer. Thanks alot for both asking the question and answering the question.

I think that the constellation seen on Mars would be a bit different but not enough to become noticeable.
