  • Planets in Ursa Major: What You Need to Know
    The constellation Ursa Major (the Great Bear) doesn't contain any planets.

    Constellations are collections of stars that appear to form a pattern in the sky from our perspective on Earth.

    Planets orbit stars and are not part of constellations.

    However, there are many stars within the constellation Ursa Major, including:

    * Dubhe (Alpha Ursae Majoris)

    * Merak (Beta Ursae Majoris)

    * Phecda (Gamma Ursae Majoris)

    * Megrez (Delta Ursae Majoris)

    * Alioth (Epsilon Ursae Majoris)

    * Mizar (Zeta Ursae Majoris)

    * Alkaid (Eta Ursae Majoris)

    These stars are part of the "Big Dipper" asterism, a well-known pattern within Ursa Major.
