Yes, Minnesota Now Has a State Constellation, But it Makes Total Sense

How many of Minnesota's state symbols do you think you could name? We have so many of them, and I feel like most people wouldn't be able to name a ton of them.

Although I've gathered from people who are from other states that Minnesotans tend to know way more or our state symbols than others.

We do have a new state symbol that just got added, but before we get to that, let's see how many of these state symbols of ours you can name!

Minnesota Now Has an Official State Constellation

On top of all of that random knowledge you now have about Minnesota, let's add this to the list: Minnesota now has a state constellation.

Remember on July 1st, 2025, when a bunch of new laws took effect? One of the items that went into law was that we officially now have a state constellation.

Before you laugh, it actually makes total sense!

Our state constellation is... Ursa Minor, aka: The Little Dipper.

The reason this makes total sense as our state constellation is because Minnesota is known as The North Star State. Well, the North Star is a part of the Little Dipper. See? It's actually really smart that this is our state constellation now.
