The major stars in the Big Dipper are Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, Megrez, Alioth, Mizar, and Alkaid.
Merak and Dubhe are the two "pointer stars" at the lip of the Big Dipper. Draw a line between the two stars and follow it for seven times the distance between them. You'll find a medium-bright star called Polaris.
Starting from the handle, the main stars in the big dipper are Alkaid, Mizar and Alcar (an optical double star), Alioth, Megrez, then down to Phecda, across the bottom to Merak, and finally up to Dubhe on the lip. If you extend a line from Merak up through Dubhe about five times the distance, you should find Polaris, the North Star. See related links for more information
The Big Dipper, or Ursa Major has two stars (sometimes called the pointer stars) which line up directly with Polaris. Those two stars, at the "lip" edge of the Big Dipper, are Dubhe and Merak. Merak is at the "bottom" of the Big Dipper, and Dubhe is right at the "lip".
