Word before Major or Minor, in astronomy (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ursa

(Other definitions for ursa that I've seen before include "Major/Minor constellation" , "(and 11 across) Pole Star constellation" , "and 18 Down: The Great Bear" , "It's both major anf minor overhead" , "The Major one is the Plough" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
