Original Note:
Polaris, the North Star, aligns with Earth's axis, visible from the North. Moving south, it lowers and vanishes past the equator, reflecting Earth's spherical shape and axial tilt. The earth is not flat. https://starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/StarChild/questions/question64.html https://www.astronomy.com/science/is-polaris-visible-from-the-southern-hemisphere/ https://science.howstuffworks.com/north-star.htm
