The first star visible in the northern hemisphere is often considered to be Polaris, also known as the North Star. Polaris is located nearly at the celestial north pole, making it a crucial navigation point for travelers in the northern hemisphere. It is part of the Ursa Minor constellation and has been used for centuries by sailors and explorers to determine their latitude. Its bright and stable position in the night sky makes it an important reference point.
