(taken a year ago today)
Megrez chose that moment to hide behind a tree branch.
Fun fact: As you might know, the second star from the bottom in this pic, the middle of the big dipper's handle, is a double star: Mizar (the bright one) and Alcor (the dimmer one). And they are actually a pair (and not just coincidentally near each other from our vantage point). But it turns out that Alcor is itself a double star. And Mizar is actually two doubles. So there are six stars there, even though we can only see two.
Fascinating, thanks! My head spins a bit when I read about some binary star where one of the stars itself is a binary, but this takes it to a whole new level. Going to have some new reading on Wikipedia tonight.
