Leo

 This is my picture of a Leo. [|www.astrologyweekly.com/zodiac-pictures/zodiac-constellation-pictures.php] The greeks named my constellation. It was discovered on january 2,1982. The Nemean lion was slain by Hercules. Leo is what they called it. Leo original meant "The Little King." The ancient sumerians called Leo the name Regulus which meant "star of the king." In ancient persia or iraq regulus was called "the flame" or "red fire." The main stars of the Leo constellation are:

The brightest ones are: Regulus, Denebala, Algiebra. Other names for the constellation Leo are: Regulus Alpha Leonis Leonis (means the lion) Leo is the nemean lion which was killed by Hercules on one of his great quests.Legend said that the lion had a hide that could not be punctured by iron, bronze,or stone. You can see the Leo from the months of february to june. The seasons when you can see Leo is the spring to winter seasons. Leo is located between the constellation's Cancer, Gemini, And Virgo. The lion is the king of all wild beast. Leo's are just like lions with physical strength and stamina,They are tending to be opinionated and they also have the ability to have a strong ability to see their projects through to the very end of it. They story behind the constellation Leo is that Hercules faught for like a month trying to defeat this big beast. He was eventually able to catch and srangle the beast. Then he used the lion's own claws to cut off it's skin. The lion's head was his helmet, Skin was his Body armor. With all of this he couldnt be injured by a sword, spear, or an arrow.My information was obtained from these websites: [|www.space.com/spacewatch/spacewatch] [|www.seasky.org/pictures/sky7bo4.html] [|www.astro.wisc.edu/constellations/leo.html] [|www.mallorcaweb.net/msm/descon/htm] [|www.dibonsmikth.com/leo_con.html] [|www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/the_universe/constelations/spring/leo.html]
