Stars visible in the Northern Hemisphere

Polaris

Finding Polaris

Polaris is one of the most useful stars for a person in the Northern Hemisphere to be able to identify, as it can tell you two things: which way is north, and what is your latitude (if your latitude is 38°, Polaris will be 38° above the horizon).

Capella

Finding Capella

Capella can be found by following the line made by the two stars in the Big Dipper's handle and extending it across the Dipper's bowl.

Arcturus

Position of Arcturus

Arcturus is the brightest star in the constellation Boötes, and the third brightest star in the night sky. Arcturus can be found in the summer by following the arc made by handle of the Big Dipper (away from the dipper's bowl).
