What constellation contains the north galactic pole?

The constellation containing the north galactic pole is Coma Berenices.

The north galactic pole is the point 90 degrees above the Milky Way’s defined galactic plane. In the standard galactic coordinate system, it lies in Coma Berenices, a northern-sky constellation whose name means “Berenice’s Hair.” The pole is near the naked-eye star 31 Comae Berenices.

Coma Berenices is positioned between Boötes, Canes Venatici, Leo, and Virgo. Because it lies well away from the Milky Way’s crowded equatorial band, its direction offers relatively unobscured views of distant galaxies. The famous Coma Cluster and many Messier galaxies are found in this region.

A common mix-up is the south galactic pole: it lies in Sculptor, not Coma Berenices. The galactic poles are also different from the north and south celestial poles, which define Earth’s rotational axis and are associated with Polaris and Sigma Octantis.
