Hey folks i got a doubt, Alcor is behind of Mizar,very near and why Alcor doesn't make part of the Ursa Major? i mean the Ursa Major is compost of 7 stars and alcor doesn't make part. thanks for the attention.
In India (and maybe more widely in that general geographical area) it tends to mean "question" in a neutral sense, without the implication that you don't believe something is true.Vanadium 50 said:You keep using the word "doubt" - I don't think it means what you think it means.

Alcor is not considered part of Ursa Major because it is not a member of the Ursa Major constellation. Although they appear close together in the night sky, Alcor is actually a foreground star located in our own Milky Way galaxy, while Ursa Major is a collection of stars located much farther away.
Alcor is not directly related to Ursa Major, but it is often used as a guide for finding the star Mizar, which is one of the stars that makes up the "Big Dipper" asterism within the Ursa Major constellation.
Yes, Alcor is a binary star system, meaning that it is composed of two stars that orbit around a common center of mass. However, the two stars are relatively close together and appear as one point of light to the naked eye.
Alcor is located about 81 light years away from Earth. This is relatively close in astronomical terms, which is why it appears so bright in the night sky.
Yes, Alcor can be seen with the naked eye under good viewing conditions. It has an apparent magnitude of 3.99, making it one of the brightest stars in the night sky. However, it may be difficult to spot for those in urban or light-polluted areas.
