Phoenix Maplewood The Astronomy Tower

Spring listened patiently as Shreya spoke.  She found herself curious as to the fact that there were other stars out there the pointed to certain directions.  As Shreya asked her to answer the question about the Pole Star, Spring began to speak.  “Is the North Star also called the Pole Star too, because it is pointed in the direction of the North Pole?”  It seemed like that was a pretty good logical answer to Spring.  Why else would the North Star be called the Pole Star anyways?  There was’t any other large masses that had the word Pole in the North.
