Answer:

it's the star in the center of the star field

Step-by-step explanation:

Why Doesn't Polaris Move? Polaris is very distant from Earth, and located in a position very near Earth's north celestial pole. ... Polaris is the star in the center of the star field; it shows essentially no movement. Earth's axis points almost directly to Polaris, so this star is observed to show the least movement
