Fun fact: The "star" that is second from the end of the Big Dipper's handle is in reality, a double star (Alcor and Mizar) that can often be seen with the naked eye. One of the stars that makes up the double (Alcor,) is also a double, and the other, Mizar, is also a quadruple star. So, six stars for the price of one!
