___ Major (the Big Dipper)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ursa

(Other definitions for ursa that I've seen before include "(& 19 across) Plough constellation" , "(In the sky) Major or Minor" , "Major and Minor, the Bear constellations" , "It's both major anf minor overhead" , "'Major and Minor, constellations (4)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
