Leo (Lion)
The Lion is a very distinct constellation, and one of the few constellations where its shape actually has some similarity to the figure it represents. It is fairly easy to recognize the lion in the stars of this constellation, sitting in the night sky. The Lion is an old constellation, known by the ancient Greek already. Apparently, it was the first task of Hercules to kill the lion.
The lion contains a lot of bright stars and attractive deep-sky objects. The brightest star is Regulus at a distance of 85 light years. With a magnitude of 1.4mag, it is one of the brightest stars in the night sky. Regulus is actually a double star, but its companion is too faint to be visible with the naked eye.
Every year between mid-August and mid-September, the Leonids can be seen. It is a meteor shower. Falling stars will appear as if they were falling from the lion.
This constellation belongs to the zodiac. Its time of the year is between July 23 and August 22. It’s the brightest star is Regulus (α Leonis).
