Polaris is the name of the north pole star. It isn't EXACTLY above the North Pole, but pretty close; only about one-half a degree off. If you were to watch Polaris through the night, you wouldn't notice any movement, but in a long-time-exposure photo, you can see that Polaris makes a TINY circle around the perfect North.
