Located in the Canis Majoris constellation, Sirius burns bluish-white, and is one of the hottest objects in the universe with a surface temperature of 17,400вЏ (9,667вЊ). Interestingly, PolarisвЂ™ dependability is why it is commonly mistaken as the brightest star, but Sirius actually takes that crown-find it below the Gemini constellation, at the 7HR latitude and -20В° longitude coordinates on the visualization. The Polynesian people famously followed the path of the North Star, along with wave currents, in all their way-finding journeys. Polaris, also dubbed the North Star in the Ursa Minor constellation, is arguably one of the most influential, even though it sits 434 light years away.Д«ecause of its relative location to the EarthвЂ™s axis, Polaris is reliably found in the same spot throughout the year-on this star map, it can be spotted in the top right corner. Stars have served as a basis for navigation for thousands of years. This stunning star map was created by Eleanor Lutz, under the Reddit pseudonym /hellofromthemoon, and is a throwback to all the stars and celestial bodies that could be seen by the naked eye on Near YearвЂ™s Day in 2000. However, if youвЂ™re in the city and the heavens align on a clear night, you might still be able to spot somewhere between 2,500 to 5,000 stars scattered across your field of vision. Today, travelers trek to the ends of the Earth to catch a glimpse of the Milky Way, untouched by light pollution. The stars have fascinated humanity since the beginning of civilization, from using them to track the different seasons, to relying on them to navigate thousands of miles on the open ocean.
