Big Dipper M82 (NGC 3034), irregular galaxy in Ursa Major. This photograph is a combination of three images taken in blue, yellow-green, and red light, January 1983. M81, spiral galaxy in Ursa Major Figure 7: Omega Centauri (M3), the most imposing globular cluster in the Milky Way Galaxy. M101, spiral galaxy in Ursa Major Although the stars of the Big Dipper seem to belong together, they are actually widely separated. A person looking at the Big Dipper stars from a position in space different from that of Earth would see them in a different shape, or they might seem completely unrelated to each other in the sky.
