	Polaris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At present, Polaris is slightly under 1° away from the pole of rotation (about twice the apparent diameter of the Moon) and hence revolves around the pole in a small circle almost 2° in diameter.
		Polaris is due to become an even more accurate pole star in the near future — the distance between Polaris and the pole will reach a minimum (of just under 1/2 degree) in 2100.
		Although Polaris is a relatively bright star and is conspicuous since no other stars of similar brightness are close to it, it is nowhere near the brightest; it is actually the 47th brightest star.

		The term aurora borealis was first used by Galileo in 1619 to suggest the likeness of the northern lights to an early dawn in the northern sky, an appearance it sometimes has to those who live at low or intermediate latitudes in the northern hemisphere.
		Once the term aurora borealis was introduced, Galileo and others used it as the name for the Northern Lights.
		Together the aurora australis and the aurora borealis are known as the aurora polaris.

		Polaris is the star at the very end (handle end) of Ursa Minor (the Little Dipper).
		Remembering how we found Polaris and the Little Dipper, if we continue to trace a line from the stars at the end of the Big Dipper’s bowl, past Polaris, we arrive at the top of Cepheus (the King).
		Corona Borealis (the Northern Crown) is a rather small constellation in the shape of a “u.” Sitting just to the south of Corona Borealis, is Serpens (the Serpent or Snake).

		Nowadays we use the name aurora polaris to describe the whole of the earth's aurora and call the auroras of the northern hemisphere the aurora borealis and those of the southern hemisphere the aurora australis.
		They and their meanings so logically fit together in an orderly unified way that it is easy to assume that this grouping was all carefully thought out by some methodical person.
		According to Siscoe, the term aurora borealis was first used as a metaphor by Galileo in 1619 to suggest the likeness of the northern lights to an early dawn in the northern sky.

		Encyclopaedias define the Aurora Borealis as a colourful light phenomenon, which shows itself when charged particles, protons and electrons, carried by solar winds hit the upper parts of the Earth’s atmosphere.
		The definition – which is probably scientifically correct – seems anaemic for those who have seen the spectacular Aurora Polaris or Aurora Borealis phenomenon also known as the Northern Lights, in its full brightness – quickly changing colours, power and changing form, it produces a significant natural light show.
		The Northern Lights usually perform at a height of 100 kilometres.
