Polaris or the North Star
The little dipper
A bunch of them - but the most famous one is Polaris, The North Star.
A sighting of the Little Dipper is an experience fraught with meaning.If you have done it, then it tells us that . . .You were located at 12° or more North latitude at the time of your observation.You were out of doors, after dark.The sky was clear in your neighborhood, at least toward the North.You were looking toward the north at the time.You know the Little Dipper when you see it.
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.
Same place it is during the winter. In the North. The last star in the tail of the Little Dipper is Polaris, the North Star.

No, Polaris (the North Star) is part of the Little Dipper (which is part of the constellation Ursa Minor, "The Little Bear"). Polaris is the bottom-most star in the "handle" of the Little Dipper.
Yes. The current North Star, aka Polaris, is at the end of the handle of the Little Dipper, aka Ursa Minor. See Related Links.
