All of the stars visible from Earth are essentially fixed in space. From the
viewpoint of a person standing on the Earth the patterns of stars we call
constellations seem to rotate around two fixed points in the sky. These points
are called the North and South Celestial Poles. In fact, it is the Earth that is
rotating every 24 hours while the stars stay still. From the Earth’s Northern
Hemisphere, constellations appear to rotate around the North Celestial Pole.
This point happens to be very close to the direction of the bright star Polaris. For
centuries Polaris (often called the North Star) has been used by sailors for ocean
navigation.
