What does the Ursa Minor constellation look like?

In: Constellations [Edit categories]

Answer:

It looks like an old fashioned plough with a bent handle. Some people say it looks like a pan with a bent handle. To the naked eye, there are seven stars; four of them form the trapezium-shaped plough blade, and one star in the corner joins three others to form the bent handle, which curves smoothly in a clockwise direction, ending with Polaris, the pole star, which is the brightest star in the constellation.
