Imagine a straight line going from the Little Dipper
to the Big Dipper. Following this straight line past
the Big Dipper you meet a very bright star. This star
is halfway closer to the Big Dipper than the Little
Dipper is, and is the very first bright star you meet
following this straight line after the Big Dipper.
Can you tell me what the name of this star (or planet) is?

Your question does not clearly tell me where to look. It seems to say that this star is between the big and little dippers and also say that it is on the other side of the big dipper from the little dipper. Anyway, use the star map at the source to look for yourself.
