Yeesh what a pair of dips!

Astronomy gags must be difficult to come up with.

The expression on the little guys face! Love it!

I would like them to turn and see if they have tails …

Like one of those 50’s hits: dip, dip, dipty-dip.

Are you Sirius?

And yet, no stars in the sky.

What a couple of dips.

If you Saturn Uranus all day, I’m sure you’d come up with a good one.

The dippers are just parts of the Ursa constellations.

Dipper dee doo da…

Shouldn’t the stars at the end of the “bowl” of the larger one point to the end of the handle of the smaller one?

took me a minute

With light polution it’s getting hard to make out the constellations and forget about seeing the Milky Way near any but the smallest towns.

Okaaay. Big and litter dipper. But why bears?
