Explanation:

El autor describe las estrellas y constelaciones (Polaris, Little Dipper, Ursa Minor, Cassiopeia) de manera objetiva, presentando datos como la forma (curva, W), la ubicación (opuesto al mango del Gran Cucharón, misma distancia de Polaris) y la magnitud (tercera magnitud). No hay intento de persuadir, no hay una secuencia de eventos narrativa ni se apela a la lógica o razonamiento de expertos de manera explícita. Simplemente presenta hechos y descripciones.
