Answer:

To locate Polaris, all you have to do is to find the Big Dipper pointer stars Dubhe and Merak. These two stars outline the outer part of the Big Dipper's bowl. Simply draw a line from Merak through Dubhe, and go about five times the Merak/Dubhe distance to Polaris. If you can find the Big Dipper, you can find Polaris

Currently, Earth's pole stars are Polaris (Alpha Ursae Minoris), a magnitude-2 star aligned approximately with its northern axis, and a pre-eminent star in celestial navigation, and Polaris Australis (Sigma Octantis), a much dimmer star. From around 1700 BC until just after 300 AD, Kochab and Pherkad were twin northern pole stars, though neither was as close to the pole as Polaris is now.
