APOD 3.2



If you live in an area north of Florida, you'll be able to see the easily distinguishable Ursa Major, colloqiually known as the Big Dipper. And if you know the Big Dipper, you can find the Little Dipper and, more importantly, Polaris, the North Star. Unless your're a total noob. Here, we see how Mekar and Dubhe, the stars at the right extreme of the contsellation, line up and point almost directly to Polaris. If you're stuck or lost somewhere, you should be able to find it. Unless you're a noob. Or you live in the South.
