Yeah, they're buddies. [This is the superior constellation lore.] If you can find the bears, you can find Polaris, and then you can tell which way north is. It's like a navigation thing. [Sans is only incidentally interested in that part.] And Polaris looks like one star from here, but it's a triple star system, so there's three of 'em all orbiting around each other. They're like 300 or 400 light years away.
