About Dubhe
To find the big dipper (or Ursa Major), you must look for the line of stars that forms a square with a handle. Dubhe is the very tip of the big dipper on the high right hand side. Callisto was the faithful companion of Artemis. But later in life when they were young Callisto got pregnant. Artemis was furious when she fond out about Callisto, and transformed her into a bear. Zeus took pity on Callisto and sent her to the heavens in her bear form, forming Ursa Major.
