Problem 1: The star Mizar in the Big Dipper was the first binary system to be observed (Benedetto Castelli asked Galileo to observe it in 1617, presumably to confirm his observations of this double star)–though not the first where orbital motion was observed. The parallax angle to Mizar is 4.2 × 10− ...

... What do star clusters and associations have to do with star formation? (3 points) Since the large clouds that stars form from tend to fragment into many pieces, stars tend to form in groups. Also, star formation in one part of a cloud can induce star formation in other parts, due to the powerful sho ...

Ursa Major
Ursa Major /ˈɜrsə ˈmeɪdʒər/ (also known as the Great Bear and Charles' Wain) is a constellation in the northern celestial hemisphere. One of the 48 constellations listed by Ptolemy (second century AD), it remains one of the 88 modern constellations. It can be visible throughout the year in most of the northern hemisphere. Its name, Latin for ""the greater (or larger) she-bear"", stands as a reference to and in direct contrast with Ursa Minor, ""the smaller she-bear"", with which it is frequently associated in mythology and amateur astronomy. The constellation's most recognizable asterism, a group of seven relatively bright stars commonly known as the ""Big Dipper"", ""the Wagon"" or ""the Plough"" (among others), both mimicks the shape of the lesser bear (the ""Little Dipper"") and is commonly used as a navigational pointer towards the current northern pole star, Polaris in Ursa Minor. The Big Dipper and the constellation as a whole have mythological significance in numerous world cultures, usually as a symbol of the north.The third largest constellation in the sky, Ursa Major is home to many deep-sky objects including seven Messier objects, four other NGC objects and I Zwicky 18, the youngest known galaxy in the visible universe.
