the Big Dipper
北斗七星
The Big Dipper is one of the most recognizable and easily found patterns of stars in the night sky. It includes seven bright stars from the constellation Ursa Major with four stars forming the bowl and three stars forming the handle.
歪果仁朋友也认为北斗七星像勺子,而且是带个长长的柄的勺子。4颗星星组成"碗",3颗星星组成把儿。在形象描述这块儿,全球人民达成一致。
