The two stars in the Big Dipper that point to the North Star are Dubhe and Merak. If you draw a line from Merak to Dubhe and continue that line onward, it will lead you to the North Star, also known as Polaris.
The asterism known as the Big Dipper, visible in the Northen Hemisphere and part of the Ursa Major constellation, has two stars which famously point approximately at Polaris. (The stars are Merak and Dubhe.)
The point on a star typically symbolizes inspiration, guidance, or direction. It can also represent a goal or aspiration to strive towards. In some contexts, it may signify achievement, success, or excellence.
2 stars
The Big Dipper stars and the north star are light years away from each other. it just LOOKS like they are near each other. In several hundred centuries, the Big Dipper won't even look the same because the stars in it are expanding away from each other at different relative rates.
The question is vague. There are many stars called "pointer" stars. For example, two of the stars in Ursa Major lie along a line that passes very near Polaris. A completely different set of stars in Ursa Major form an arc that passes near Regulus. There are plenty of other such astronomical coincidences.
The North Star Tail stars
The Big Dipper is one of the most recognizable groups of stars in the sky. The pointer stars in the bowl of the dipper point toward the North Star.
Inside the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear, there's an asterism - a pattern that's NOT a constellation - called The Big Dipper. The Big Dipper is made up of 7 (8 really) stars. 2 of the stars that make up the front part of the bowl, point to Polaris, the North Star.
The pointer stars in the Big Dipper point towards the North Star, also known as Polaris. Polaris is located directly above the North Pole and remains nearly stationary in the sky. This makes it a useful navigational tool for finding north.
The Little Dipper, also known as Ursa Minor, contains seven main stars. The two stars at the end of the "dipper" are called the Pointers, as they point toward the North Star.
Ursa Major is the constellation. The 2 stars in the bowl of the dipper point to Polaris. Polaris IS the North Star.
little dipper
It is the brightest star in the northern part of the sky. It is part of the Little Dipper and the Big Dipper 'points' to it. The north star is on the tip of the 'Little Dippers' handle. The brighter 'Big Dipper' is easier to see in the night sky so that will be used as a reference point. The 'Big Dipper' constellation is composed of seven stars. Three form the handle and four form the spoon/dipper part. After finding the 'Big Dipper', trace an imaginary line from the two stars on the spoon/dipper opposite the handle. Follow the line to the brightest star; that's the North Star.
find the big dipper. its bottom of the cup will point to the north star. look straight up. draw an imaginary line in the sky from where your looking at to the north star. that is north.
Two stars in the big dipper, part of the constellation called Ursa Major or the Great Bear.
The two stars in the bowl of the Big Dipper point towards the North Star, also known as Polaris. By following a line from these two stars, you can easily locate Polaris, which remains nearly stationary in the night sky and helps in finding the direction of North.
The North Star is not in the Big Dipper. It is actually Polaris, which is located close to the handle of the Little Dipper constellation. The Big Dipper is useful for finding Polaris because it points towards it.
