The 'Big Dipper' is the nickname in the US for the constellation Ursa Major (Great Bear) referring to the resemblance of its most conspicuous stars to a pan used for dipping in a water butt or the like.
In the UK, a 'big dipper' is another name for a rollercoaster so to avoid confusion we refer to the same constellation as The Plough (which it also resembles)
