		With only latitude in hand, an individual knows just that he or she is on a particular "latitude circle." Without an accompanying longitude coordinate, an observer could be located at any position on the circumference of the planet consistent with the measured latitude.
		The location of the North (and South) Celestial Pole is defined by projecting the axis of the earth onto the celestial sphere; consequently, as the axis changes position, so, too, does the "North Star." As a result, 5,000 years ago the earth's axis pointed toward Draco, and the North Star was Thuban.
