Polaris is located in the constellation of Ursa Minor, the Little Bear. It sometimes also goes by the name âStella Polaris.â The seven stars from which we derive a bear are also known as the Little Dipper. Polaris, the North Star lies at the end of the handle of the Little Dipper, whose stars are rather faint.
Polaris wasnât always the North Star. Around the year 2500 BC, the celestial pole was near Thuban, located in the constellation Draco. Around the year 400 BC, the pole was closer to Kochab, Beta Ursae Minoris, than it was to Alpha UMi.
