if you do it at a different time and turn the planisphere, then look at the Big Dipper and it might be upside down. I know it cuz im learnin bout it, RIGHT NOW! lol
The Big Dipper is always on a tilt. When it fills up it has to empty, thereby
flipping upside down to empty it's contents. That's where we get either rain
or snow, depending on the temperature.

Thanks for that. Now go to your room.
You are on the Earth. The Earth is rotating. You are rotating along with the Earth,
so you and your eyes are being rotated in a circle every day, like a chicken in a
rotisserie. Everything in the sky APPEARS to move in a circle every day, although
it's actually your eyes that are rotating in a circle. The center of all the circles is
the point in the sky that the Earth's north pole points to. (If you live anywhere in
the northern Hemisphere, like in Europe, the USA, Canada, etc.) Anything close to
that point in the sky appears to rotate around it every day, like the hands of a clock.
But it's really your eyes that are rotating, because you're riding on the spinning Earth.
Look north in the evening sky. As long as you are north of about 30 degrees north latitude, and as long as the sky is clear, you ought to be able to see it. The stars of the Big Dipper are relatively bright, and there are not a whole lot of other bright stars in that part of the sky.
One reference constellation that you can use is Cassiopeia, which resembles a crooked stretched-out "W" or a giant chair in the sky. The center point of the "W" points - very roughly! - in the direction of the Big Dipper. Cassiopeia is on the other side of the North Star Polaris, so if the Big Dipper is low in the sky, you may be able to find Cassiopeia and locate the Big Dipper that way.
The Little Dipper, or "Ursa Minor", is a difficult constellation to see from our light-polluted cities. The stars of Ursa Minor are all pretty dim, even the brightest star Polaris.
So the best way to see the Little Dipper is to go out in the country away from the big cities and the urban glow. Give your eyes time to become dark-adapted. Look north; between the Big Dipper and the "Chair" of Cassiopeia.
if you do it at a different time and turn the planisphere, then look at the Big Dipper and it might be upside down. I know it cuz im learnin bout it, RIGHT NOW! lol
look north for the north star. the star that seems to never move. it is part of the big dipper
Stand on your head! dummys
u have to look up.....into the sky
The big dipper is fairly low in the winter sky at night. It would be high in the sky in the daytime, but in the daytime you can't see the stars!
You can always see it , weather permitting, but Fall is best.
If you see the big dipper the brightest star will be the north star
The Big Dipper does not exist in the sky. What we see in the sky are simply assorted points of light, some brighter than others.We human beings, however, can't stop trying to fit everything that we see into patterns. And so we see assorted dots of light, and our minds imagine patterns - and after one person has said "I see THIS shape in the patterns", many other people are persuaded to notice the same shapes. The Big Dipper exists only in our minds and our imaginations. In England, the same constellation is called "Charles' Wain" because someone thought it looked like a wagon.The Big Dipper is what it is; it's lights in the sky. From other solar systems, it wouldn't look the same; the shapes would be different, and we would see other patterns.
No. No place south of about 5 degrees south latitude can see ANY of the stars in the little dipper.
All of them. You can see the Big Dipper anywhere in the northern hemisphere.
you can see the big dipper at 30 degrees and above all year around
You can see the Big Dipper every month of the year, IF you live in the Northern Hemisphere
you look at the brightest star in the sky then you follow a chain of stars to the big dipper
The Big Dipper is NOT a constellation. It's an asterism (part of a constellation). You can see it all year long if you live in the Northern Hemisphere.
You can see it all the time of you live in the Northern Hemisphere, unless you live really, REALLY south and the Dipper is low on the horizon... Find out where north is, wait for the sun to set, and you will EASILY see the Big Dipper in the north.
in the sky dummy

I See Things Upside Down was created in 2004.
No. Peru is in the southern Hemisphere and though parts of the Big Dipper can be seen, no part of the Little Dipper can be seen.
you can only see the big dipper at night with a microscop
because i say it is
