Polaris: The North Star. Polaris, also known as the North Star, Alpha Ursae Minoris or Star of Arcady, is the brightest star in Ursa Minor constellation. Polaris is notable for currently being the closest bright star to the North Celestial Pole. The pole marks true north, which makes the North Star important in navigation, as the starâs elevation above the horizon closely matches the observerâs latitude.
About-face of Polaris steers you due south. Polaris is not the brightest star in the nighttime sky, as is commonly believed. Itâs only about 50th brightest. But you can find it easily, and, once you do, youâll see it shining in the northern sky every night, from N. Hemisphere locations.or example, a famous star called Thuban, in the constellation Draco the Dragon, was the North Star when the Egyptians built the pyramids. But our present Polaris is a good North Star because itâs the skyâs 50th brightest star. So itâs noticeable in the sky.
