The Sky at Night

Season 35 Episode 9: The Pole Star

Polaris is probably the most famous star in the night sky and has been of tremendous value to navigators through the ages. Patrick Moore discusses not only its position but also its nature - pointing out that Polaris is far more luminous than the Sun, and so far away that we see it as it used to be at the time of the crusades.
