Ursa+Minor

Ursa Minor is ordinary known as the Little Dipper because its seven brightest stars seem to form a dipper or a spoon shape. The star at the end of the dipper handle is Polaris, the North Star. Polaris can also be found by following a line through the two stars which form the end of the "bowl" of the Big Dipper. the name Ursa minor means Little Bear in Latin. Ursa Minor slightly resembles a baby bear with a long tail. http://www.utahskies.org/deepsky/constellations/maps/UrsaMinor.jpg 1209415664
