7. SO happy for you! My username 'Talitha' is a star in that constellation.

So glad you were able to see the Big Dipper! It's in the (huge!) constellation Ursa Majoris (the big bear). Talitha is way down at the southeastern part of the constellation, in the toe of the Bear's front paw.

I know what you mean about being happy to see it, though. I grew up in Chicago and just about the only thing we could see was the Moon. Now I'm in northcentral Wisconsin and live where fellow astronomers vacation to in order to get to dark skies.
