Ursa Major is one of the most important constellations to know because it points to so many other star patterns in the sky. For those that live in the northern hemisphere, this star pattern can be seen all year round. It is classified as a circumpolar constellation. Ursa Major contains the asterism known as the Big Dipper, and it is one of the most recognized star patterns in the world.

Stars aren’t still--they move through space. Our Sun and the seven stars that form the Big Dipper in the constellation Ursa Major all orbit the center of the Milky Way at different speeds. So why do today’s constellations closely resemble those depicted by ancient astronomers? Find out why they, like us, saw just a snapshot of cosmic time.
