Polaris (α Ursae Minoris, α UMi, commonly the North Star or Pole Star) is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor. It is very close to the north celestial pole, making it the current northern pole star.
It is a multiple star, comprising the main star, α UMi Aa, which is a supergiant; two smaller companions, α UMi B and α UMi Ab; and two distant components, α UMi C and α UMi D. α UMi B was discovered in 1780 by William Herschel.
The revised Hipparcos parallax calculates the distance to Polaris at about 434 light-years (133 parsecs). Many recent papers derive distances up to 30% closer, particularly by assuming that its pulsation is in the fundamental mode. Deriving an accurate distance is especially important because Polaris is the closest Cepheid variable to Earth, so its physical parameters are critically important to the whole astronomical distance scale.

α UMi Aa is a 4.5 solar mass (M☉) F7 yellow supergiant (Ib). This is the first classical Cepheid to have a dynamical mass determined from its orbit. The two smaller companions are α UMi B, a 1.39 M☉ F3 main-sequence star orbiting at a distance of 2400 AU, and α UMi Ab (or P), a very close F6 main- sequence star with an 18.8 AU radius orbit and 1.26 M☉. There are also two distant components: α UMi C and α UMi D which have been shown to not be physically associated with the other three stars.

Hey everyone, DON"T DO WHAT I DO! This is not the Polaris recommended break in procedure, refer to your manual please. And, I tend to drive more aggressively than most so please do not do what I do, save your machine, your wallet, and stay safe! I just picked up this new 2015 XP1000 so I could practice for the Terracross Championship at Haydays and Charlotte North Carolina. Time to break it in the way I break everything in, no sense pampering it - I'm not going to lie, this machine will be abused.....but it can take it.

For 2017, Polaris is throwing down their fourth Ace, the 78hp, wide-track, much better suspended Ace 900 XC. Based on the internet’s skeptical reaction to the original Ace back in 2014 and the number of viewers asking us to review the new 900 XC, this car has the UTV world and us expecting a winner. To find out, we eagerly traveled to Polaris 2017 Press Intro in Montana to take it for a spin. With a large number of publications on hand and the XC 900s in short supply, we teamed up with another publication to get a full hour of seat time in the car to gain a brief first impression. With only one hour of driving time, it’s hard to explore the finer details of the machine. We can say for sure that this car’s performance is leaps and bounds beyond any other single seat UTV on the market. I...

I was once not unlike you. Benign and beaten down, I scoured the corners of the earth in search of a better way. I ploughed the furthest depths, myriad leagues below, and where you found that sinking feeling, that's where I found myself. I told myself that there was nothing there for me, ensnared within a vacancy that only I could see. Each step I ever took w...

It's kind of a low blow,
Not the one I got, but the one you gave.
It's really to soon to know,
How much of you will there be left for me to say.
He's a scallywag,
I have another friend that he did the same thing to,
And then he brags
And he'll kiss and tell me, kiss and tell me every time
you do.
Monte Carlo,
Coronado II,
And San Diego Zoo or a hundred nights with you won't
change my mind.
You rang and she called early,
You were laughing and she was asking "can we still be
friends".
You would like to think in Summer time you'll remember
So I'll never, never land where the stories never ever
ever.......
Monte Carlo,
Coronado II,
And San Diego Zoo or a hundred nights with you won't
change my mind.
Hey Monte Carlo,
Coronado II,
And San Diego Zoo or a hundred nights with you won't
