Polaris, the Guiding star, points to the exact location of a ship amidst the vast expanse of the sea, as well as to the right direction for the wanderer lost in the wilderness.

Ursa Major, the Great Bear, of which the back half the "Big Dipper" forms with the handle outlining its tail, contains a total of fifty-three (53) visible stars. Besides Dubhe and Merak, another interesting pair of stars is in the middle of the handle of the dipper. Their names are Mizar and Alcor. Alcor is so close to Mizar that they appear to be one star. In ancient times, armies used these two stars as an eye test. If you can see two separate stars your eyesight is good, if not, your eyes could not be relied upon during battle. However, on this web page of www. p715. com we regard that the dipper has just seven stars.
