quadrado/parte quadrada

Explanation:
No caso da Ursa Maior (Big Dipper), "cup" refere-se à parte quadrada da constelação e "handle" refere-se à cauda.
"In the Big Dipper, the cup leads and the handle trails."
Portanto, creio que neste contexto a melhor tradução será "o quadrado" ou "a parte quadrada".
