Toward which distant star does Uranus's axis of revolution point?

Answer 1

Eta Ophiuchi (north), 15 Orionis (south)

With an axial tilt of 97 degrees from its orbital axis, Uranus has an odd tilt.

Thus, 15 Orionis is Uranus's south pole star, located halfway between Betelgeuse and Aldebaran, and Eta Ophiuchi, the north pole star, is located in the southern celestial hemisphere of Earth, roughly 15° northeast of Antares.
