Stars associated with the Ursa Major Moving Group are to be found across the sky, especially northward of the Equator, though some are found as far south as Sculptor or Microscopium. The figures shown above refer to the more concentrated central regions of the moving group, with its heart in Ursa Major.
The stars of the Ursa Major Moving Group are spread across the sky, but the most concentrated region of the group is within the northern constellation of Ursa Major, from which it takes its name. Five of the stars of the well-known Plough (or Big Dipper) formation belong to the group, as seen in the southern part of this image. The red-orangestar to the west is Dubhe or Alpha Ursae Majoris, and unlike the other brightPloughstars seen here, it does not belong to the moving group. Imagery provided by Aladin sky atlas
