Pole Star: 2,500 times brighter than the Sun

Показать описание
Polaris has been our north star, or “pole star,” for thousands of years.
The star has been a universal guide for centuries.
Past civilizations have relied on its precise location, as,
Earth’s axis has been pointed directly at Pole star.
Polaris is the brightest star in the asterism Ursa Minor, or the little dipper.
Even at a distance of 430 light years away, Polaris shines bright in our sky.
Actually, the north star is 2,500 times brighter than our own star, the Sun.
Polaris can easily be found by locating the Big Dipper, and using the stars , Dubhe and Merak, to point to Polaris.
Earth spins in a wobbling cone like shape along it's axis.
It takes 26000 years to complete one axis spin.
Polaris became north star since about 1500 years and will remain closest star to the pole for more about 1000 years.

If we are constantly flying through space at a constant speed whilst rotating around the Sun then why do we see the same stars and not new stars?

Something feels off. If the north star doesn't move. Then how do we keep seeing it everyday while the Earth does it's orbit around the sun? Or am I missing something here?

It's crazy that we move in three different ways and been able to count on the north star for as long as we have

The star doesnt move during day and night. Get a star app on your phone and track it. The ursa minor constellation its part of spins in circles. This proves the world is flat but everyone is scared to be wrong

I was not expecting this many flatties to appear.
For future flatties, please compare the newer readings and the older readings of the British Nautical Almanac. Polaris has clearly changed position.

No Polaris is in the middle of flat Earth if you know yes the stars revolve if the earth's spun and shot through space we wouldn't have the big dipper and the stars we see every night and for centuries it would for 2 nights in a row

This is a representation of the lords star. On a flat earth, a multi deminsional plane of infinite realities. A soundgarden of frequencies inspired by the lords first song of life. The "simulation" is a song cherubin sing to hide the face of God. (Satan also sings a song here on earth.) Earth is a rarity to mingle among the mass hallucinations...🔥🌈🕊

2500 TIMES brighter than the sun 😂 think of that for a second. They spew out random ass numbers we cant even imagine. We can’t even comprehend something being twice as bright as the sun? Why? because the sun is the brightest thing in our whole existence!!They say u go blind from just looking at the sun too long, now imagine being near something 2500 TIMES You’d instantly vaporize. A bunch of nonsense.
