Seven Stars

The Seven Stars are a prominent asterism in the constellation Ursa Major, consisting of seven bright stars: Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, Megrez, Alioth, Mizar, and Alkaid. They form a pattern often used as a navigational guide in the night sky, helping observers locate the North Star and other celestial features. These stars are not physically connected but appear close together from our perspective on Earth, creating a recognizable pattern that has guided travelers and inspired cultural stories throughout history.
