Have another look some night when you are out camping or in the country. You will be ASTOUNDED at the number of stars in the sky!

A few of them can but the most famous ones are Ursa Minor (the little bear) and Ursa Major (the great bear). Inside each bear is a "dipper" - the Little Dipper is in the little bear and the Big Dipper is in the great bear. The star at the end of the Little Dipper is Polaris - the North Star. Polaris is called the North Star because it's directly above Earth's north pole. By finding this star, travelers always were able to find north.
