asks:

"Großer Wagen" = "Kleiner Bär"

Is this true in every universe?

Ursa Major = the Great Bear = der Große Wagen

So confusion maxxed out.

German wikipedia says, Ursa Major consists of 7 stars in the end with Polaris and looks like that [image 1]

On the other hand: English wikipedia and Stellarium says this exact same form is the small bear aka Ursa Minor.

Any ideas?
