Polaris is a single star, not a constellation. It happens to be located near the

north pole of the sky, which means it hardly seems to move. It's always in the

same place, no matter what time of what night on what date in which season

you decide to look for it. Once you've found it, it'll always be in the same place

in the sky ... at least until you travel some significant distance north or south

from where you are.

Note:

All of this is true only if you live north of the equator. If you live south of the

equator, then you never see Polaris.
