Description

Polaris is interestingly a triple star system. Here we can see Polaris A and Polaris B. Polaris B orbits Polaris A at a distance of 2400 AU. Polaris A has a small companion called Polaris Ab, and that is a main sequence star orbiting very close to Polaris A, which is why we can't see it here.
