What galaxy is ursa minor in?

Answer 1

Ursa Minor is a star constellation. As such, one cannot think of it in terms of how far it is from earth because the stars that make up the constellation are not located in the same area of space.

Answer 2

Ursa Minor, the "Little Bear", is a northern hemisphere constellation composed of a number of dim and unremarkable stars, plus the North Pole star Polaris. Polaris is at the tip of the "little bear's" tail.

Ursa Minor is difficult to see from urban or suburban areas, because the stars aren't particularly bright; city lights will almost certainly mask it. You ought to be able to see Ursa Minor from any dark area in the Northern Hemisphere.

Answer 3

All of the stars that you can see with your unaided eyes, including all of the stars that make up the constellations, are in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Answer 4

Ursa Minor is a constellation, not a galaxy. It contains the North Star, Polaris, which is part of our Milky Way galaxy.
