What makes polaris useful for night-time navigation?
Polaris just happens to be positioned almost (but not quite exactly!) above the North Pole. So if you are facing Polaris, you are facing almost exactly north. If you measure the altitude of Polaris as an angle above the horizon, you can read your latitude directly on your sextant. It isn't exact; you need to apply a small correction based on the date and time, but it's the easiest latitude measurement you'll ever do. Even without the correction, it is only off by about 2/3 of a minute of arc, or 40 minutes of latitude.
What direction do you face when you locate the polaris?
Polaris is the star which lies within a degree of the celestial north pole, so you are facing north. It is a widely believed but incorrect idea that Polaris is very bright; it is not, but it is bright enough for you to see it on a moonless night. It is found at the end of the 'tail' of Ursa Minor, or the Little Dipper, and the Big Dipper points to it.
