The star system Ursae Majoris does not exist in real life. The name seems to be a misinterpretation or confusion of Ursa Major, which is a constellation, not a star system. Ursa Major, also known as the Great Bear, is one of the most recognizable constellations in the night sky, but it is not a star system. | |||
However, there are several notable stars within the Ursa Major constellation, including Dubhe and Merak (the pointer stars which lead to Polaris, the North Star), as well as Mizar and Alcor (a famous optical double star). Each of these stars has its own unique properties and characteristics, but they do not collectively form a single star system. | |||
It's also worth noting that there is a star called Ursae Majoris, but it's usually referred to by its Bayer designation, Psi Ursae Majoris. This is a single star, not a star system. | |||
