* A smaller figure, next to the man, sitting on a chair ; as it is near the pole star, it may be seen by observers in the Northern Hemisphere through the whole year, although sometimes upside down ( the constellation Cassiopeia )

As seen from locations in the Earth's Northern Hemisphere, celestial objects with declinations greater than 90 ° − ( where = observer's latitude ) appear to circle daily around the celestial pole without dipping below the horizon, and are therefore called circumpolar stars.

An extreme example is the pole star which has a declination near to + 90 °, so is circumpolar as seen from anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere except very close to the equator.

* In the Northern and Southern pole regions of the Earth aurorae will be observable in the sky.

A relatively inconspicuous star in the night sky of the Northern Hemisphere, it is historically significant as having been the north pole star in ancient times.

One of the last track and field events to develop was the pole vault, which stemmed from competitions such as the Fierljeppen contests in the Northern European Lowlands in the 18th century.

The Northern Celestial pole is currently ( but not permanently ) within a fraction of 1 degree of the bright star Polaris.

While observers in the Northern hemisphere can use the star Polaris to determine the Northern celestial pole, there is no corresponding " southern pole star ".
