astroBASICS is free and open to the public
This month we look at the problems of summer astronomy
and an in-depth look at The Pole Star
The Pole Star is well known by all and often misunderstood by the public at large.
But I am constant as the northern star,
Of whose true-fix’d and resting quality
There is no fellow in the firmament.
Julius Caesar. Act III.
Well Caesar was not to know the Pole star is not fix’d or even fixed. And certainly not constant.
