It a star whose position is close to the celestial north pole, and it lies approximately directly overhead when it is viewed from the Earth's North Pole. It is called Polaris, and is in the constellation of Ursa Minor, also called the Little Bear or the Little Dipper. Contrary to popular belief, it's not a particularly bright star, but it's quite easy to find using the 'pointer' stars of Ursa Major (the Great Bear, Plough, or Big Dipper), so it's a good way to find the north. There is no significant star at the celestial south pole.
