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.

Why can you not see the big dipper in Texas?

If you're anywhere south of about 35 degrees north latitude, then at least part of the Big Dipper rises and sets; that is, there are some parts of some nights when not all of its stars are visible. If you're farther south than about 40 degrees south latitude, then none of the stars in the Big Dipper is ever visible to you.

Where is the little dipper in the sky?

The little dipper is in our Milky Way Galaxy, actually not all that far from us. It is above the big dipper, so that it appears to be pouring into the big dipper. If you can see the north star, that is the tail (or end of the handle) of the little dipper. The middle stars of the little dipper are somewhat faint, but the two outside stars of the top and bottom of the little dipper pan are about as bright as the north star.


Is any part of the big dipper circumpolar at 40 degrees?

At 40° SOUTH latitude, you can't see any of the Big Dipper. At 40° NORTH latitude, the only part of the Big Dipper that ever sets, just barely, is the last star at the tip of the handle. For that star to be 'circumpolar' as well as the rest of the Big Dipper, you'd have to travel about 30 miles more north than 40°N.
