Astronomy Live: Celestial Polar Express

This lecture by longtime Hayden presenter Ted Williams teaches about the shifting poles, whether there is a star akin to Polaris in the Southern Hemisphere and much more.

Many of us have heard of the North Star Polaris, but we may not understand that the Celestial North Pole actually changes over time. Did you know there are north and south “poles” in our solar system—and even in the Milky Way galaxy?
