WHAT DOES CIRCUMPOLAR MEAN?
Circumpolar meas to circle around the pole. Circumpolar stars or constellations daily trace circles around the north celestial pole, identified by the North Stat Polaris, without setting or dipping below the horizon. They move in a conterclockwise direction. On any given night, the constellation is visible during a portion of the circle, the rest is traced out when the constellation is hidden by daylight.
