Extended Information

Leo is a bright constellation, easily recognizable in the spring starry sky. Among them, Regulus XIV (Lion), Regulus XIII (Lion), Regulus XII (Lion), Regulus XI (Lion), Regulus X (Lion), and Regulus IX (Lion) form a "sickle" (or reverse question mark) structure from south to north, which represent the head, neck, and mane parts of a lion.

One of the Five Emperors (Leo), together with the Great Horn of Mako and One of the Horns of Virgo, form an equilateral triangle known as the Spring Triangle. These three stars, together with Chang Chen I in Canes Venatici, form the Great Diamond of Spring.

The group of stars that used to represent the lion's tail hair is now a separate constellation, Harem. Leo is located near the direction of the north pole of the Milky Way in the constellation Houfa, so a large number of extragalactic galaxies can be seen, most notably the Triple Leo and the M96 clusters.
