HELP ME PLEAS A Look Above
by Jason Starrs

Look up at the night sky, and you might find a display of stars. But do you know the name of these stars? The most recognizable collection of stars is called the Big Dipper. It gets its name because it looks like a very large ladle. It is part of a larger group of stars called Ursa Major, which means "bigger bear" in Latin.
The Big Dipper is made of seven principal stars. These stars can serve as guides to find other stars in the sky. One of the most important stars that it helps find is Polaris, or the North Star. Polaris is a star that almost seems to stay permanently north. In addition, it can show the way to two more stars, Castor and Pollux. They are part of another cluster of stars called Gemini.
