The North Star, also known as Polaris, is one of the most famous and significant stars in the night sky. Located in the constellation Ursa Minor (the Little Bear), it is the brightest star in this constellation and serves as a key celestial landmark for navigation.
Polaris is almost perfectly aligned with Earth's rotational axis, making it appear nearly stationary in the sky while other stars seem to rotate around it. This unique position has earned it the title of the "North Star" or "Pole Star." For centuries, it has been an essential guide for travelers, sailors, and explorers, especially before modern navigation tools were invented.
