Ah, the bright star in the southern sky. That little ball of fire is what we call Sirius, the brightest star in our night sky. It's a big deal in many cultures and has been used for navigation, timekeeping, and mythical interpretations throughout history.

What imaginary point around which southern hemisphere stars rotate is south pole?

In the northern hemisphere, we have a moderately bright star called 'Polaris' or the 'North Star' ... that happens to be located near the north pole of the sky, and the stars appear to revolve around it once a day. The stars appear to do the same in the southern hemisphere. But it's a little less obvious, because there's no particularly bright star near the south pole of the sky.
