Is The North Star is the last star in the constellation known as Ursa Minor?
Polaris, also known as the North Star, is the final star in the handle of Ursa Minor, which is known as "The Little Dipper." It is easy to find because the two stars that make up the side of the bowl of Ursa Major that are not attached to its handle point directly to it.

How do you find the North Star shining brightly on a clear sky during night?
The proper name for the North Star is Polaris. To find it, you first need to identify the constellation Ursa Major and the constellation Ursa Minor. It is in Ursa Minor. Using the stars Dubhe and Merak in Ursa Major as starting points for a line, follow the line to Polaris. It is not a particularly bright star, but is overhead in the northern hemisphere and does not appear to move in the way many other stars do. They all appear to rotate around it.
Why is Ursa Minor called Little Bear?
Ursa Minor (the Little Dipper) is called little bear because of a old story that some hunters were lost at night and a small girl pointed the way. (the North Star) When the girl left she turned into a bear in the sky so that they could always find they way home. And Ursa Major (the Big Dipper) is right above it and it means Big Bear.
