North Star: Polaris and Surrounding Dust ☁️✨️☁️

Why is Polaris called the North Star? First, Polaris is the nearest bright star toward the north spin axis of the Earth. Therefore, as the Earth turns, #stars appear to revolve around Polaris, but Polaris itself always stays in the same northerly direction, making it the North Star. Since no bright... read more
