Constellations
The stars forming a group that has a recognisable shape is called a constellation.
Constellations were devised by ancient people to be able to recognise stars in the sky. The shapes of constellations resemble objects familiar to those people. You can easily identify some constellations in the night sky. For this, you should know how a particular constellation looks like and where to look for it in the night sky. One of the most famous constellations which you can see during summer time in the early part of the night is Ursa Major.
It is also known as the Big Dipper, the Great Bear or the Saptarshi.
There are seven prominent stars in this constellation. It appears like a big ladle or a question mark. There are three stars in the handle of the ladle and four in its bowl.
Observe this constellation for a few hours. Do you find any change in its shape? Do you find any change in its position? You will observe that the shape of the constellation remains the same. You will also find that the constellation appears to move in the sky from east to west. we can locate the Pole Star with the help of Ursa Major.
