Ursa Minor is a lso known as the little dipper. Its stars make a shape like a ladle. Ursa minor’s brightest star is Polaris\, the north star\, and is at the end o f the handle of the dipper. \nPolaris is called the north star because it always is located due north and is useful for navigation in the northern h emisphere. That’s why Ursa Minor is a fitting constellation for Minnesot a\, whose state motto is “The Star of the North.” \nFind a star party at host sites across the state: bellmuseum.umn.edu/statewide-star-party-20 26 LAST-MODIFIED:20260914T182124Z LOCATION:Various Locations\, Various Locations URL:https://www.minnesotaparent.com/event/statewide-star-party-2026/?utm_s ource=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=minneapolis-mn X-SOURCE-NAME:Minnesota Parent X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.minnesotaparent.com/things-to-do-calendar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:North Loop Run Club DTSTART:20260917T233000Z DTEND:20260918T013000Z DTSTAMP:20260901T065110Z UID:10020145-1789669800-1789677000@northloop.org CATEGORIES:community,outdoors DESCRIPTION:Hosted every Thursday at 6:30pm\, meet us at Cuzzy’s!
