Stars that always circle the north star?
490197
All stars really circle the North Star (also known as the Polaris or Alpha Ursae Minoris), and they are only really apparently circuling because of the rotation of the Earth.\n\nWhether those stars rise or set depends on your latitude. Although the North Star is only visible in the northern hemisphere.

Stellar navigation is an ancient and fascinating art. It's difficult to tell you how to do it without knowing exactly where you are. In the northern hemisphere, for example, you have the Giant Dipper as a reference point. in the southern hemisphere, there is the Southern Cross. The time of year is also important. At certain times of the year, Venus is the first visible star in the night sky. \nThere are excellent star maps in the library, or if you happen to live near a planetarium, there are wonderful 'virtual night sky' presentations that can guide you through the learning process. \nJust as an experiment, pick a warm summer night, take a blanket and a pillow, and map the major stars you see overhead. Note the time. An hour later, re-do your map, and see how various stars and planets have moved. Repeat an hour later. You'll be amazed at how quickly the night sky changes, but once you establish your reference points, it gets much easier to locate yourself in reference to the stars. \nHave fun out there!

Most star maps are either of the Northern Hemisphere or the Souther Hemisphere of our entire celestial sphere.  So there are maps of stars best viewed from the southern hemisphere as well but since you cant see most of those constalations in the northern hemisphere they will likely not be sold in most northern places.

They can fall anywhere on the H-R diagram. The age and the temperature of the star are located on the axes, but the distance of the star isn't mentioned.\n\nAlso, say the ratio of stars visible to the naked eye and stars visible with a telescope is f/g (g obviously being bigger). This ratio is differenciated by brightness*nearness, where brightness*nearness has to be greater than a certain number to be visible by the naked eye. Since most stars are main sequence stars, the graph of stars can look like this:\n\n....*..............*............*.M\n................*........*.*M..*..\n......*............*..M..*....*...\n..*............*M..*.......*......\n........*..M.*..*.........*.......\n.*..*M.*....*.....*...........*..\n\nAs you can see, most stars are on the diagonal that cuts from the bottom left to the top right M's. If you randomly take away a  number of stars, then the diagonal will most likely be there. Thus, most visible stars are near the graph of (f*brightness/g*nearness) which is the diagonal.

Try red, white and blue stars!  That would be cute.

The north star, also known as Polaris, the chariot star,Alpha Ursae Minori, or the cynosure, and a lot of other names, is in the approximate direction of the earth's rotational axis, at least at the moment. Polaris is actually not a single star, but a multiple star, including at least one variable star (in fact, a cepheid variable). \n\nThe earth's rotational axis points at a location called the North Celestial Pole, which is less than 1 degree away from Polaris. The North Celestial Pole will be even closer to Polaris sometime between 2100 and 2115, because the axis of rotation of the earth precesses, or executes a big circle, with a period of  25,725 years. About 4600 years ago, it was Thuban, or Alpha Draconis that was closest to the North Celestial Pole.  \n\nThe North Celestial pole can be easily found by opening up the shutter on a camera, and taking a long exposure. As the earth turns during the night, the stars will trace out semicircular arcs on the film. The center of these arcs will be the North Celestial pole.\n\nIf you look in the night sky, in most places in the Northern hemisphere, Polaris will be North of you. However, if you are at the North pole, Polaris will be directly overhead (or at least very close to directly overhead), all night long (remember the nights at the North pole are 6 months long, approximately).

as high as your latitude... if you are\nliving at 42 degrees north, Polaris,\nthe North Star, is 42 degrees above\nthe northern horizon... if you live in \n\nIf you live in Orlando, it will be \nabout 28.5 degrees above the horizon...

the big dipper is always pretty much in the north, but ir revolves around the north star as the year progresses, and as each night progresses. About now, if you looked north at about 10 PM, it is a bit east of the north star

Polaris may not be due north on a planet with a different tilt to its axis, but you would use whatever was due north as a pole star instead

The North Star is a title of the star best suited for navigation northwards. A candidate must be visible from Earth and circumpolar to the north celestial pole. The current one is Polaris. It is the star at the end of the "handle" of the constellation Ursa Minor.\n\nThe North Star has been historically used by explorers to determine their latitude. At any point north of the equator the angle from the horizon to the North Star (its altitude) is the same as the latitude from which that angle was taken. For example, the angle to the North Star for a person at 30° latitude will be about 30°.\n\nPolaris has a visual magnitude of only 1.97. On the other hand, in 3000 BC the faint star Thuban in the constellation Draco was the North Star; and at magnitude 3.67 it is five times fainter than Polaris. The bright Vega will be the North Star by AD 14,000. In comparison the brightest star, Sirius, has a magnitude of −1.46 (assuming that we exclude the Sun at −26.8).\n\nCurrently, there is no South Star as useful as Polaris; the faint star σ Octantis is closest to the south celestial pole. However, the constellation Crux, the Southern Cross, points towards the south pole.

north star is actually a pole star which is situates on the axis of the pole and it is the only star which does not moves and remains fixed in its position. in ancient times the people use to locate the direction by seeing the pole star as it is located in north. it was used by sailors tooo
