Ursa Minor is known as the Little Bear.
Ursa Minor or "The Little Bear" is a constellation. It is made up of many stars, each one having it's own unique distance from Earth. It only looks like Ursa Minor from our perspective.
Ursa Minor is located in the northern sky. You can locate it yourself. First find the big Dipper. Then Imagine a straight line upwards from the two end stars. Then you will see the bright star called polaris. This is Ursa Minor.

An asterism formed by the seven brightest stars of ursa-minor, the most conspicuous of which are the North Star (polaris-astronomy, Alpha Ursae Minoris) and the two front bowl stars, kochab-astronomyand Pherkad (Beta and Gamma). The ursa-major-and-ursa-minorlooks like a miniature and much fainter version of the well-known big-dipper.
