only later, according to Strabo (I.1.6, C3) due to a suggestion by Thales, who suggested it as a navigation aid to the Greeks, who had been navigating by Ursa Major. In classical antiquity, the celestial pole was somewhat closer to Beta Ursae Minoris than to Alpha Ursae Minoris, and the entire constellation was taken to indicate the northern direction. Since the medieval period, it has become convenient to use Alpha Ursae Minoris (or " Polaris") as the North Star. (Even though, in the medieval period, Polaris was still several degrees away from the celestial pole. [9] [a] ) Now, Polaris is within 1° of the north celestial pole and remains the current Pole star. Its Neo-Latin name of stella polaris was coined only in the early modern period.

Retrieved 21 June 2014.Story about a little polar bear who lives in the arctic and longs to be just like his mother. Mother bear shows baby bear what it is like to be a grown up, but after realising that he can't do all of the things he used to do, baby bear decides he no longer wants to be a grown up. This story is perfect to read to children in KS1/EYFS particularly at the stage of transition; although the children may feel excited, they may be a little anxious about growing up.

Look up into the night sky and see the Great Bear and the Little Bear. But how did the bear end up among the stars?

The origin of this word is uncertain, for the star group does not answer to its name unless the dog himself be attached; still some, recalling a variant legend of Kallisto and her Dog instead of Arcas, have thought that here lay the explanation. Others have drawn this title from that of the Attican promontory east of Marathon, because sailors, on their approach to it from the sea, saw these stars shining above it and beyond; but if there be any connection at all here, the reversed derivation is more probable; while Bournouf asserted that it is in no way associated with the Greek word for "dog."

According to Diogenes Laërtius, citing Callimachus, Thales of Miletus "measured the stars of the Wagon by which the Phoenicians sail". Diogenes identifies these as the constellation of Ursa Minor, which for its reported use by the Phoenicians for navigation at sea were also named Phoinikē. [6] [7] Perley, R. A.; Bridle, A.

NGC 3172 (also known as Polarissima Borealis) is a faint, magnitude-14.9 galaxy that happens to be the closest NGC object to the north celestial pole. [71] It was discovered by John Herschel in 1831. [72]In Inuit astronomy, the three brightest stars—Polaris, Kochab and Pherkad—were known as Nuutuittut "never moving", though the term is more frequently used in the singular to refer to Polaris alone. The Pole Star is too high in the sky at far northern latitudes to be of use in navigation. [17] In Chinese astronomy, the main stars of Ursa Minor are divided between two asterisms: Overcome with grief, he began to cry. Zeus heard him weeping and realised what had happened. He didn’t want Hera to hear Arcas and find out what had happened. So he turned both mother and son into constellations. a b Otero, Sebastian Alberto (4 December 2007). "Alpha Ursae Minoris".

[13] George William Cox explained it as a variant of Λυκόσουρα, understood as "wolf's tail" but by him etymologized as "trail, or train, of light" (i.e. λύκος "wolf" vs. λύκ- "light"). Allen points to the Old Irish name of the constellation, drag-blod "fire trail", for comparison. Only pups believed in coincidences and Orris was an old fox.
