What shape is Leo?

One of the zodiac signs. A famous constellation in the sky in spring. Located east of Cancer and west of Virgo and Empress. Every August 1 1 to September 17, the sun runs in Leo, and both solar terms, summer and Millennium, are in Leo. We can look for Leo like this. Take the big horn of Capricorn and the constellation of Virgo as two vertices, and draw a regular triangle to the west. At the third vertex of the triangle, you can find the second-class bright star and the five emperors of 1, which is the lion's tail. On the right of the Five Emperors is Leo. Another way is to find the famous Big Dipper first, and extend the two polar stars in the opposite direction to the Polaris, and you will see that five or six less bright stars form an inverted question mark ""shape, or like a sickle, which is the lion's head and front legs. The point below the question mark is the famous bright star Xuanyuan XIV. Xuanyuan XIV is roughly equidistant from Bisuwu in Taurus, Antares in Scorpio and Beiluo Shimen in Southern Aquarius, and is collectively called the "Four Kings of the Zodiac". Leo has a meteor shower group, which appears around the middle of June every year 165438+ 10, and a spectacular meteor shower occurs every 33 years or so.

Legend has it that there is a fierce lion spirit in Nemea Valley. It is the son of the monster Ekadna. This lion spirit harms people, cattle and sheep everywhere. Hercules, the son hero of Zeus, strangled the invulnerable lion essence with his divine power, removing a great harm for the people. To commemorate the achievements of Hercules, Zeus raised the lion spirit to the sky and turned it into a Leo.
