The Alaska flag consists of eight golden stars that form the Polaris star and the Big Dipper constellation on a dark midnight blue background. The blue field represents the Alaskan sky and the forget-me-not flower, a flower that blooms blue flowers. The Big Dipper is an asterism that symbolizes a bear, a native Alaskan animal, symbolizing power. The North Star represents the future of Alaska, which is the northernmost state in the Union. The height-to-width ratio in the flag is 125:177, and the flag was adopted on July 9, 1927.
