Detailed Solution

Ursa Major is also known as the Great Bear.
Ursa Major is a constellation in the northern sky. The Ursa Major constellation consists of seven bright stars, which are arranged in a pattern resembling somewhat a big bear. Its Latin name means the larger or greater bear. That is why it is called the greater bear. The Ursa Major is also called the Big Dipper because it resembles a dipper (a bowl with a handle), which was used to drink water in the olden days.
