How can you find the big dipper in the sky?
One reference constellation that you can use is Cassiopeia, which resembles a crooked stretched-out “W” or a giant chair in the sky. The center point of the “W” points – very roughly! – in the direction of the Big Dipper. Cassiopeia is on the other side of the North Star Polaris, so if the Big Dipper is low in the sky, you may be able to find Cassiopeia and locate the Big Dipper that way.
