For the past 7 to 8 years,i have been looking up at the sky eagerly to see a star,a particular star.
I have been searching it in the sky ever since i studied about it in a book,but was in vain as i never even saw it once.But
17th april was different…it was yet again a cloudless night.i luked up at the sky (directly above my head) and was amazed to see the star which i have been searching for a long time.POLAR STAR or POLE STAR.
The pole star(northern star in common language) is located at a gud distance from the Earth and its position is directly above the north pole of the Earth and so the name.
When u look directly up in the sky and turn around clockwise all the stars will seem to go anticlockwise and vice versa but the pole star will seem to be stationary…this is how u can find the pole star….this is what i read and this is how i found it!!!
Hope you get the chance to see this star…i was lucky…
