The celestial North Pole is the point where the imaginary polar axis of the Earth would touch the sky if it were extended. Polaris, for all practical purposes, serves as the celestial North Pole, being only one degree off this point and positioned at the end of the Little Dipper. Its formal name is “α Ursae Minoris.” It is called the Polar Star because it is the closest star to the North Pole. As it steadily approaches, by the year 2100, it will reach its closest proximity. However, after that date, the pole will gradually move away from Polaris, and it will not be the Polar Star again for the next 25,780 years.

Here we introduce our “Ursae.” So, after 84 years, there’s no need to worry about waiting almost 26,000 more years to be close to it.
