Ursa Major, the Great Bear is the third largest constellation in the sky. What is more familiar however, are the seven stars which make up the rump and tail of this animal. We know them as the Big Dipper, in the United Kingdom, they are known as the Plough. Many people mistakenly think that the Big Dipper is a constellation but it isn't, it is something called an asterism. An asterism is a small easily recognizable formation of stars that is usually part of a larger constellation. In this case, the Big Dipper is part of the constellation Ursa Major. Another thing this constellation is known for is the "pointer stars." These are the two outside stars in the bowl of the dipper. A line drawn through them points to the north star.
