The above statement is True.
We can find the polar star by using the Ursa Major constellation. Find the quadrilateral in the Ursa Major by locating it. Choose the two stars that are on the quadrilateral's opposite side. Create a line connecting these stars, after then stretch it upward toward the top of the ladle. The pole star is a dim star that intersects this line. The pole star is also known as the North Star. It is the brightest star that can be seen at either pole.
