The story will discuss how this star influenced different cultures in different times around the world. The first culture mentioned is ancient Egypt and their use of the north star, Thuban. Hi, my name is Polaris. It's great to see you here today as I have a special little story to tell you. Whenever you look up into the sky, you can see all these little specks of light. Some of these are planets, but almost all of them are stars, and they make up hundreds of constellations in our night sky. As the Earth rotates, note how every star in the sky is rotating around one single star. This is the star we'll be talking about in our story today. More specifically, how this star influenced different cultures in different times around the world. First, we'll hear from Minna about ancient Egyptian culture and how they used their north star, Thuban.
