Sagot :

Ursa Major is now the object that is closest to the zenith. Using this date and time as a reference, set the star wheel finder to 8 p.m. on April 24. The northern sky contains the constellation Ursa Major.

Its mythology is believed to have prehistoric roots. Its Latin name, which contrasts it with nearby Ursa Minor, the lesser bear, is "greater (or larger) bear." The zenith is a hypothetical point on the celestial sphere that is situated directly "above" a specific location. "Above" refers to a direction that is parallel to the ground and counter to the direction of gravity there (nadir). The celestial sphere's "highest" point is called the zenith.
