Two star patterns: The Big Dipper and the Little Dipper. There is a red arrow between them. It starts from 2 stars in the Big Dipper and points to Polaris, a star in the handle of the Little Dipper.

Hi stargazers! It's spring and that means it's a great time to see the #BigDipper high in the evening sky! You can also use this iconic star pattern to find its sibling, the #LittleDipper. 🌌

Here’s how to spot them:

Got a faint aurora glow to the left of the picture (north direction), but the Little Dipper and a meteor were caught in the shot facing east.

A stunning long-exposure photograph captures the night sky with star trails rotating around Polaris, the North Star, the brightest star in the image. A Perseid meteor streaks across the frame, adding to the celestial spectacle. Dark rock formations silhouette against the vibrant star-filled sky.

Quick zoom, big glaze moment 👀✨
This little dipper dish is stealing the show—tiny, but absolutely glowing out of the kiln.

The big and small dipper in the night sky!

As a Child to a Senior Adult, I always look up to find the Big & Little Dipper in the night sky. Every time, I get a sense of place, a good feeling, & deep wonder about our universe. Look up and Relax with the stars!

Star chart with labels showing Big and Little Dippers with arrow from Big Dipper to Polaris, a star at the tail or "handle" of the Little Dipper. Both constellations are shaped like upside-down saucepans with downward-curved handles.

In spring, look for the #BigDipper and #LittleDipper high in northern skies. Just remember the old saying: spring up and fall down! Read more at: buff.ly/px7PvYE

A stunning long-exposure astrophotograph reveals Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) positioned between the constellations Ursa Major (Big Dipper) and Ursa Minor (Little Dipper). The comet's faint ion tail stretches across the image, captured in late January. Even though it's now below naked-eye visibility, this image beautifully demonstrates its recent location relative to familiar constellations.

My first attempt at capturing the Northern Lights in North Carolina. I was pretty pleased with the results. I think next time I will have a faster shutter setting.

Last night, after another long day, I looked up and saw the #LittleDipper. I don't remember ever being able to see it in my neighborhood and I just sat and stared. It's a tiny (and distant) bright spot. I hope you're getting by and can look up tonight, even for a minute.
