the big dipper
The little dipper is in our Milky Way Galaxy, actually not all that far from us. It is above the big dipper, so that it appears to be pouring into the big dipper. If you can see the north star, that is the tail (or end of the handle) of the little dipper. The middle stars of the little dipper are somewhat faint, but the two outside stars of the top and bottom of the little dipper pan are about as bright as the north star.
yes
The Big Dipper
Flag.
If you see the big dipper the brightest star will be the north star
yes it does. it is also called the Little Dipper. the tail in the Little Dipper is the North star. :-) There is another constellation called the Ursa Major or the Big Dipper. :-)
It is the brightest star in the northern part of the sky. It is part of the Little Dipper and the Big Dipper 'points' to it. The north star is on the tip of the 'Little Dippers' handle. The brighter 'Big Dipper' is easier to see in the night sky so that will be used as a reference point. The 'Big Dipper' constellation is composed of seven stars. Three form the handle and four form the spoon/dipper part. After finding the 'Big Dipper', trace an imaginary line from the two stars on the spoon/dipper opposite the handle. Follow the line to the brightest star; that's the North Star.
The right hand edge of the pot in the big dipper (ursa major) points to Polaris, the north star. Follow the stars from the lower right to the upper right corners of the pot, and you will find the north star. The north star is also the end of the handle of the little dipper (ursa minor). In the northern hemisphere, the north star never moves in the night sky, no matter what time of night, all the other stars move from east to west over the course of the evening. The north star is due north of the north pole. The number of degrees the north star is above the horizon will always indicate the lattitude of the observer. For instance, Boston is at around 42 deg N lattitude, the north star is around 42 deg above the horizon when looking north.
Not just the big dipper but all of the stars appear to rotate around the North Star because Earth is rotating. The North Star does not appear to move because it is in line with Earth's axis of rotation.
