The closest bright star to the north celestial pole is Polaris. At magnitude 1.97 (variable), it is the brightest star in the Ursa Minor constellation (at the end of the handle of the Little Dipper asterism). As of October 2012 its declination is +89Â°19â²8â³ (at epoch J2000 it was +89Â°15â²51.2â³).t is consequently known as Polaris (from Latin stella polaris pole star). It was formerly sometimes known as Cynosura, from a time before it was the pole star, from its Greek name meaning dog's tail (as the constellation of Ursa Minor was interpreted as a dog, not a bear, in antiquity).
The North Star or Pole Star â aka Polaris â is famous for holding nearly still in our sky while the entire northern sky moves around it. Thatâs because itâs located nearly at the north celestial pole, the point around which the entire northern sky turns.
