Polaris: The North Star

NASA APOD · Wally Pacholka
COSMIC MESSAGE

Polaris is the North Star, a unique star for Earth. It sits almost directly above our planet's north spin axis. As Earth rotates, other stars appear to circle Polaris. Thousands of years ago, Vega was the North Star, as Earth's axis pointed in a slightly different direction.
