Cassiopeia.
Polaris, aka the pole star or the north star, is in the constellation of Ursa Minor.
The pole star, also referred to as the north star or Polaris, is a large star not unlike our own sun. Polaris has been called many different things over the centuries some have included; lodestar (14th century) and Mismar from medieval Islam.
The stellar south pole is located in the constellation Octans. This constellation is relatively faint and is situated in the southern celestial hemisphere. The south celestial pole itself is not associated with any bright stars, but Octans contains the star Sigma Octantis, which is the closest star to the south celestial pole.
Yes, the pole star is real and it is also known as Polaris. It is a bright star located almost directly above the North Pole, making it appear stationary as the Earth rotates. The pole star has been used for navigation by many civilizations throughout history.
Yes. Pole Star is located by Ursa Major. On a clear moonless sky during summer at 9.00 p.m. at the northern part of sky you can see Ursa Major. Imagine a straight line that passess through these stars and extend this line towards the northern side to a star that is not too bright. This is a Pole Star. This star does not move at all. Ursa Major moves east to west of this Pole Star.

Polaris is NOT a constellation - it is a star. It's the North Star, meaning, it is directly above Earth's North Pole.

All the constellations appear to rotate round the pole star because the pole star is in line with the axis that the Earth rotates around with us on board.
The constellation Pole Star is not a known constellation. However, the North Star, also known as Polaris, is located in the constellation Ursa Minor and serves as a guide for navigation as it remains nearly fixed in the sky while other stars appear to rotate around it.
