How Do You Find And Identify The Zodiac Constellation Leo?
Leo the Lion is a Zodiac constellation that looks as much like what it is supposed to be as any star grouping named by the ancients. This doesn’t mean that it is the most apparent object in the night sky but once you find where it is you will definitely see a lion without using too much imagination. One of the easiest to visualize asterisms, or stars that form a familiar shape, lies within Leo, as well as a couple of bright stars that have names. Look for Leo in the springtime. This constellation heralds the beginning of warmer weather in the Northern Hemisphere. When it is about 10 p.m. the entire constellation should be over the horizon in the east and visible. Use the Big Dipper to guide you to Leo. The Big Dipper is part of the constellation Ursa Major and is always in the direction of north. Find the Dipper with its seven stars that seem to form a giant ladle. The two stars that form the end of the “bowl” are called the pointers. Follow them up and you come to the North Star Polar
