Tell me the importance of POLE STAR and SIRIUS in 3-4 lines.

The Pole Star, or Polaris, is directly above Earth's North Pole. From our perspective on Earth, every star in the sky pivots around the Pole Star, causing them to rise and set. Because of it's position over the North Pole, it's the only star that doesn't appear to move. It also is used to assist humans in finding north - since it's stays in the same place all through the night and year.

   The heliacal rising of Sirius marked the flooding of the Nile in Ancient Egypt and the "dog days" of summer for the ancient Greeks, while to the Polynesians it marked winter.Thus it is a important star
