One constellation holds the Big Dipper, and that constellation is Ursa Major. The Big Dipper is located at the end of the body and the tail of the Great Bear constellation. The Big Dipper is considered a minor asterism within the constellation of Ursa Major, and the stars that make up the Big Dipper are Alkaid (at the end of the handle), Mizar, Alioth, and Megrez (making up the rest of the handle), and Megrez (same star), Dubhe, Merak, and Phecda making up the "dipper" part of the constellation.
