Navigate with the Stars

We are heading towards camping and hiking season, so here is a quick tip in case you get lost.




In the Northern Hemisphere, locate the Big Dipper constellation. Follow the direction of the two stars that make up the front of the dipper to the North Star. (It is about four times the distance between the two stars that make up the front of the dipper.) Then follow the path of the North Star down to the ground. This direction is north.
