∙ 8y agoAn asterism formed by the seven brightest stars of ursa-minor, the most conspicuous of which are the North Star (polaris-astronomy, Alpha Ursae Minoris) and the two front bowl stars, kochab-astronomyand Pherkad (Beta and Gamma). The ursa-major-and-ursa-minorlooks like a miniature and much fainter version of the well-known big-dipper.

gemini is not circumpolar. the circumpolar constellations for the northern hemisphere are Cassiopeia. Ursa Minor, Draco, Cepheus, and Ursa Major.
Leo minor isn't in a constellation, it is a constellation. Leo minor lies between Ursa Major and Leo. It is bordered by Ursa Major, Lynx, Cancer, and Leo.
The Little Dipper (constellation Ursa Minor, "the little bear") is a circumpolar constellation, and can be seen year-round anywhere north of 30 degrees latitude.
It is Leo Minor.
Ursa major and Ursa minor.

No, it isn't. It's just the tail of the bigger constellation Ursa Major, or the Big Bear. Same with the Little Dipper- it's the tail of Ursa Minor, or the Little Bear.

One: Draco. If you feel exceptionally generous you might also count Hydra, which represents a slightly different but somewhat dragon-like mythological creature.
Northern circumpolar constellations revolve around the north celestial pole in a counterclockwise manner. They never seem to rise or set, in regards to the horizon. Every 24 hours they seem to complete a revolution around Polaris, the North Star. Because the Earth is a sphere, the number of circumpolar constellations that one sees depends on one's location from the North Pole. At the North Pole, every constellation in the night sky is circumpolar. Below the equator, one cannot see a single circumpolar constellation. These are the common circumpolar constellations of 40-50 degrees N latitude: Ursa Major Ursa Minor Cassiopeia Cepheus Draco
It is Leo Minor.
Ursa major and Ursa minor.

The five circumpolar constellations are Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Draco,Cassiopeia, and Cepheus. Each are constellations in the Northern Hemisphere that circle the pole star Polaris.
Any of the circumpolar constellations. Most common: The Big Dipper (Ursa Major), Cassiopea, Cepheus, the Little Dipper (Ursa Minor). This is because these constllations can be seen year-round, and others only appear in certain seasons. (i.e. Orion constellation can only be seen in the night sky during winter.)
