Answer
She will see them again at midnight on about 21 June next year.

Explanation

  • The Earth takes about one year for one revolution.
  • After a full year it returns to the same position.
  • So the same stars rise at the same time again.
  • That is around 21 June the next year.
The same stars return to that midnight spot after one year.
