Plus, Ursa Major is only circumpolar and fully visible all night, any night from places 40 degrees north latitude or higher.
From spots farther South, it could tell you what season it is—or from way south, deep in the Southern Hemisphere, not be visible at all!
To Bill Amend’s credit, it is September when the Big Dipper could be filled with glop—other times of year, it would spill it out!
