Pole star or polar star is a name of Polaris in the constellation Ursa Minor, after its property of being the naked-eye star closest to the Earth's north celestial pole. Indeed, the name Polaris, introduced in the 18th century, is shortened from New Latin stella polaris, meaning "pole star". Polaris is also known as Lodestar, Guiding Star, or North Star from its property of remaining in a fixed position throughout the course of the night and its use in celestial navigation. It is a dependable indicator of the direction toward the geographic north pole, although not exact; it is virtually fixed, and its angle of elevation can also be used to determine latitude. The south celestial pole lacks a bright star like Polaris to mark its position. At present, the naked-eye star nearest to the celestial south pole is the faint Sigma Octantis, which is sometimes called the South Star.
This is a night letterbox that will probably need special equipment to locate final. Sparkling stars will mark your path to the North Star. Check the weather because up here it may be foggy and trail muddy during winter. Teamwork is recommended since looking for sparkling stars and seeing the trail at same time is hard to accomplish. Some areas have a steep drop. Remember to tell others the location you are heading to because there is no cell service. Take your time since you are traveling on a side of a mountain. Mountain lions and bears inhabit this area so be prepared at night. Be careful and have fun.
