Big Dipper
(in Ursa Major)
To find Polaris in the night sky, look north and find the Big Dipper. Extend an imaginary line from the two "Pointer Stars" in
the bowl of the Big Dipper. Go about 5 times the distance between those stars and you'll reach Polaris, which lies within 1°
of the north celestial pole (NCP).
