What is the magnitudes stars of ursa major?

Answer 1

The name of the constellation is Ursa Major. The two stars at the end of the "bowl" [It is the same constellation known as the Big dipper] can be used as pointers to the north star.

Answer 2

The stars of Ursa Major vary in magnitude, with the brightest star being Alioth at magnitude 1.7 and the dimmest stars being around magnitude 5. Most of the stars in Ursa Major are visible to the naked eye under good conditions.

Answer 3

There are 21stars in Ursa Major.That wasn't the question though...was it?

Edit: The brightest star is about magnitude 1.81, the others (and there are many more than 21) range down from there.

Millions, billions, trillions... Remember, a constellation is just a general direction in the sky.

Answer 5

Except for Dubhe and Alkaid, the stars of the Big Dipper all have proper motions heading towards a common point in Sagittarius. A few other such stars have been identified, and together they are called the Ursa Major Moving Group.

Mizar, a star in the Big Dipper, forms the famous optical double star with Alcor.

The stars Merak (β Ursae Majoris) and Dubhe (α Ursae Majoris) are known as the "pointer stars" because they are helpful for finding Polaris, also known as the North Star. By visually tracing a line from Merak through Dubhe and continuing, one's eye will land on Polaris, accurately indicating true north.

W Ursae Majoris is the prototype of a class of contact binary variable stars, and ranges between 7.75m and 8.48m.

47 Ursae Majoris has a planetary system with two confirmed planets, 2.54 times and 0.76 times the mass of Jupiter.

Several bright galaxies are found in Ursa Major, including the pair Messier 81 (one of the brightest galaxies in the sky) and Messier 82 above the bear's head, and Pinwheel Galaxy (M101), a beautiful spiral northwest of η Ursae Majoris. The other notable spiral galaxies Messier 108 and Messier 109 may also be found in this other constellation. Altogether, the constellation contains about 50 galaxies observable through an amateur telescope. The bright planetary nebula Owl Nebula (M97), named for its appearance, can be found along the bottom of the bowl of the Big Dipper. Of note as a curiosity more than an interesting deep sky object is Messier 40, a double star that Messier nonetheless included in his catalogue.

The Hubble Deep Field is located to the northeast of δ Ursae Majoris.

Answer 6

The Ursa Major constellation also has the Big Dipper constellation's stars. Some of the stars in the Ursa Major are Dubhe, Alkaid, Mizar, and Merak. And several bright galaxies are also found in the constellation. For more information, see related links.

Answer 7

Alpha Ursae Majoris and Beta Ursae Majoris. For any constellation, it's a good bet that Alpha and Beta will be the two brightest stars; you just need to know the genitive form of the constellation name.

Answer 8
