The claim
“All stars circle Polaris — just a disc spinning under a dome.”
What is measured
Polaris stands at an altitude equal to your latitude: overhead at the North Pole, on the horizon at the equator, gone in the south where σ Octantis rules. Related sky entries: Polaris is not nailed in place, star trails, and the southern sky.
What would show this is wrong
Polaris sitting at an altitude not equal to your latitude, or remaining visible south of the equator.
