Look for the Big Dipper. Find the end two stars on the “cup” part. Form a pointer with those two stars and it will point the North Star. Then the north star is at the end of the handle of the Little Dipper.
OK, I knew that, I thought there was something else that was a mystery I didn’t know. We can’t really see the stars here (live in a very metropolitan area, unfortunately) So I haven’t been able to stargaze in years. Sadly.
