North star pointers are commonly referred to as "guiding stars" or "pole stars." The most well-known north star pointer is Polaris, located in the constellation Ursa Minor. Historically, various cultures have used different stars as navigational aids, but Polaris has been the primary reference point in the Northern Hemisphere due to its proximity to the celestial north pole. Other stars, like Kochab and Pherkad, in the same constellation can also assist in locating Polaris.
