Ursa Minor, Latin for 'Little Bear', is a small northern circumpolar constellation best known for containing Polaris—the current North Star—at the end of the Little Dipper’s handle. It spans 256 square degrees, is visible all year from northern latitudes, and has been used for navigation due to its stable position near the north celestial pole.
