| The
most famous star in Ursa Minor is Polaris which is the north star.
If you stand at the north pole Polaris is almost overhead. If you
spot Polaris in the sky, you can always tell which way is north. To
find Polaris first you need to find Ursa Majar. Then if you find the
end of the Big Dippers cup the go upwards then the next bright star is
Polaris. The distance to Polaris is five times the angle between the
two stars at the end of the cup of the Big Dipper.
