Polaris
Polaris, also known as the North Star, is a multiple-star system located nearly at the North Celestial Pole in the constellation Ursa Minor. Its brightest component, Polaris A, is a classical Cepheid variable supergiant approximately 430 light-years from Earth. The system appears nearly fixed in the sky, making it an important navigational reference.

Little Planet Astro Camp
02/09/2016
Day and night on this little planet look a lot like day and night on planet Earth. In fact, the images used to construct the little planet projection, a digitally warped and stitched mosaic covering 360x180 degrees, were taken during day and night near Tarján, Hungary, planet Earth. They span a successful 33-hour-long photo experiment at July's Hungarian Astronomical Association Astro Camp. The time-series composite follows the solar disk in 20 minute intervals from sunrise to sunset and over six hours of star trails in the northern night sky centered on the North Celestial Pole near bright star Polaris. The orbiting International Space Station traced the offset arc across the northern night. Below the little planet's nightside horizon, red light lamps of fellow astro-campers left the night-long, dancing trails.
