Five-point star

What it means: A geometric star; direction, wishes and moments of brilliance are editorial metaphors.

NASA explains that Northern Hemisphere observers can use Polaris, near the north celestial pole, to locate north. A five-point outline is a personal metaphor, not Polaris’s true shape or a universal navigation chart.

Often chosen for: New beginnings & hope · Strength & courage · Curiosity, creativity & wonder

Respectful use: Do not imply Polaris works the same way for navigation everywhere. Avoid copying military insignia, flags or rating-organization marks.
