Greek mythology states that there is a story of someone named Calisto and her son Arcas. Calisto was turned into a bear by the queen of the gods. Her son was out hunting bears one day, and before he could kill his mother Zeus transformed them both into the big dipper and the little dipper.

Answer 4

The "Little Dipper" is a part of the constellation called Ursa Minor ... the Little Bear,

in the northern sky. Polaris (the 'North Star') is the end of the Dipper's handle, and

it spins around Polaris once a day like one hand of a huge clock.

The dipper is almost but not quite 20 degrees long. That means that if you're

anywhere north of 20 degrees north latitude ... roughly a line through Cancun,

southern Cuba, central India, northern Vietnam, and Honolulu ... no part of it

ever sets from your sky. Even when it points straight down from the North Star,

it's not long enough for any of its stars to reach down to the horizon. You can

see the whole dipper whenever the sky is dark enough.
