Dhrubotara is a prominent star in the constellation of Ursa Major, also known as the Great Bear. It is commonly referred to as Polaris or the North Star, as it is located nearly directly above the North Pole. This makes it a crucial point of reference for navigation, especially in the Northern Hemisphere. Dhrubotara is classified as a yellow supergiant star and is approximately 430 light-years away from Earth. It has been used for centuries by sailors and travelers to find their way, as it remains relatively fixed in the sky while other stars appear to move.
