- ALKAID (Eta Ursae Majoris). Though the name may not be so well known as those of the first magnitude stars, the star itself certainly is, as Alkaid is the end star in the handle of the Big Dipper, the great asterism that makes most of the grand constellation of Ursa Major, the Greater Bear.
And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
John 1:32 KJV
