Orion is about the only constellation that actually looks like its supposed portrayal, minus the head.

The Big Dipper begs to differ.

The Big Dipper is not a constellation - it's an asterism. And the constellation it is in is Ursa Major (the Big Bear) . . . which doesn't really look like its supposed portrayal. :-)
