	What's Up - Deep Sky (June)
		Alpha Ursae Majoris (Duhbe) owes it's "alpha" designation not to preeminent brightness (as is usually the case in constellations), but to it's position as the first of the seven stars of the "big dipper".
		Gamma Ursae Majoris (Phecda) forms, with Beta, the bottom of the dipper's handle, and is a blue-white star very similar to Beta: 90 light years away, 75 times as bright as our sun, and also a true member of the dipper cluster.
		Eta Ursae Majoris (Alkaid) is the final star in the handle of the big dipper, and is sometimes referred to as "Benetnasch".

	Ursa Major - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		It’s a not-too-well known fact that the Sun and its planets are located in a somewhat enriched region of the Milky Way Galaxy, from the point of view of stellar populations and especially prevalence of bright stars in the vicinity.
		At least part of the reason for this is that the Sun happens to be in the midst of a slowly dissolving star cluster, the Ursa Major Stream or “Moving Group,” of which the major stars of Ursa Major are among the chief members, to which could be added Sirius.
		The Ursa Major group a real star cluster in space, which would be noticeable from any given direction for a distance of at least several hundred light years.

		At the tip of the bear’s tail lies Eta Ursae Majoris, known both as Alkaid, from the Arabic al-qa’id meaning ‘the leader’, or as Benetnasch, from the Arabic banat na’sh meaning ‘daughters of the bier’ – for the Arabs regarded this figure not as a bear but as a bier or coffin.

		The second leap is represented by Lambda and Mu Ursae Majoris, known as Tania Borealis and Tania Australis, while the third leap is represented by Iota and Kappa Ursae Majoris, although Iota alone bears the name Talitha, from the Arabic meaning ‘third’.

		It lies in the northwestern part (15:3:47.3+47:39:14.6, ICRS 2000.0) of Constellation Boötes, the Herdsman or Bear Driver -- north of Nekkar (Beta Boötis), east of Lamda Boötis, northeast of Seginus (Gamma Boötis), southwest of Edasich (Iota Draconis), southeast of Theta Boötis and Alkaid (Eta Ursae Majoris), and west of Tau and Nu Herculis.
		44 Boötis is classified as an eclipsing variable of W Ursae Majoris type (that also resembles U Pegasi) because Star B has a double-lined, spectroscopic companion that is close enough to be considered a (weak thermal) shallow contact binary (Hill et al, 1989, page 96; and Jan Schilt, 1926).
		This star is a yellow-orange main sequence dwarf star of possibly spectral and luminosity type G V (Nikolic et al, 1997; and Hill et al, 1989), or later spectral type.
