Ursa Minor - Mythologie

Mythologie

La Petite Ourse, associée à Arcas, fils de Callisto et de Zeus, ou à l'une des nymphes qui nourrirent le jeune Zeus en Crète. Polaris, l'étoile polaire, marque le bout de la queue de l'ourse.

Points Forts de l'Observation

Polaris se trouve à moins d'un degré du pôle céleste nord, ce qui la rend inestimable pour la navigation. La constellation est circumpolaire depuis la plupart des latitudes boréales. Contient peu d'objets du ciel profond.
