What constellation is due east of Ursa Minor?

Cassiopeia, Goddess of Beauty. One of my favorites.What constellation is due east of Ursa Minor?That would depend on what you consider "up" on Ursa Major as well as the time of night. The two outer stars on the dipper point to Polaris, the celestial North Pole, so Ursa Major revolves around the spot through the night.What constellation is due east of Ursa Minor?Hi. Ursa Minor is so far north that the only real "direction" is south. Like standing on the north pole, everywhere you look is south. The term used to describe the rotational coordinates is RA, or Right Ascension. And I agree that Cassiopeia is beautiful. First constellation my Mother taught me.What constellation is due east of Ursa Minor?Draco and Cepheus both border Ursa Minor on the east, but Draco wraps most of the way around Ursa Minor so that it also borders it on the south and west too.
