<P> The north and south celestial poles are the two imaginary points in the sky where the Earth 's axis of rotation , indefinitely extended , intersects the celestial sphere . The north and south celestial poles appear permanently directly overhead to an observer at the Earth 's North Pole and South Pole , respectively . As the Earth spins on its axis , the two celestial poles remain fixed in the sky , and all other points appear to rotate around them , completing one circuit per day ( strictly , per sidereal day ) . </P>
where would you have to be to see the north celestial pole directly overhead
at the Earth 's North Pole
