Polaris is a yellow supergiant star, or more accurately a triple star system appearing to the naked eye as a single point of light, in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Minor and is commonly called the North Star.[2] The position of the star lies less than 1° away from the north celestial pole, making it the current northern pole star, which makes it useful for navigation on Earth.
History
One of the primary worlds of the Polaris system is the planet Thanagar. It is part of Green Lantern Corps Sector 2682. Thanagarians describe Polaris as a "harsh sun" and the "fierce witness to uncounted battles". During the Rann-Thanagar War, when a Zeta-Beam teleported the planet Rann into Thanagar's planetary orbit, it propelled Thanagar off its axis, driving it perilously close towards its sun. The ultraviolet radiation from Polaris became so intense that Thanagar's atmosphere ignited. [citation needed]
According to the 2014 Edition of the Encylcopedia Galactica, the Polaris system is home to 952 sentient species, and is sometimes mocked by other neighboring systems for its relatively small size.[1]
