Constellation Ursa Minor, also known as the Little Bear, is a northern constellation that is best known for containing the North Star, or Polaris. It is located near the celestial pole and is visible throughout the year in the northern hemisphere. The constellation is made up of several stars, with its most prominent feature being a small dipper shape formed by its seven brightest stars. Ursa Minor has been recognized since ancient times and has been used for navigation due to the position of Polaris. This star is located at the end of the dipper's handle and is nearly aligned with the Earth's rotational axis, making it a reliable point of reference for travelers and explorers.
