once known as the "leading star in the sky" has another name - the North Star. In seas, deserts, and wastelands, it was the only indicator of the north in ancient times, before the invention of the compass. We can easily find it by drawing a line connecting the stars Merak and Dubhe, which form the back wheels of the Big Dipper, and extending it four times in the direction of the line. This will lead us to Polaris, which is located at the end of the handle of the Little Dipper. |
