Default A real Navigation Question 1

No kindergartner crap like the commodes been flushing.

Question:

Every American kid knows how to find the big dipper, part of the great
bear (Uras Major).

The two second magnitude stars that form the outer part of the bowl of
the big dipper are often called the pointers. Why?
