In the east stars rise and in the other side of the sky, the west, they sink lower and finally set. That happens because the Earth turns.
Only one star remains motionless, and the entire sky seems to move around it. That is the North Star. If we were on the North Pole, it would be right over our heads.
The North Star is part of the Little Dipper — the Ursa Minor, or Small Bear constellation. It is the brightest star in the constellation.
Where should you look for the North Star? First you need to find the Big Dipper that is the Great Bear constellation. Then move your eyes up along the line made by the stars on the side opposite the handle.
