Name: 4/7/25 - The Big & Little Dippers by Backyard Astronomer - Delta College Public Media
Duration: 2 min
Description: Spring is the time of year when the Big Dipper climbs higher into the northern sky, but the Big Dipper is not itself a constellation. It’s only part of a much larger group called Ursa Major, the Great Bear. It also makes for a great guidepost to other stars and constellations!
