Leo constellation with Mars. Optical image of the zodiacal constellation Leo,the lion,seen with the planet Mars (orange,centre). The body of the lion is formed from the six bright stars from upper centre to lower left. The brightest of the group,Regulus (Alpha Leonis,blue,upper centre),marks the heart of the lion,with Denebola (Beta Leonis,white,lower left) marking its tail. The lion's head is formed from the hook of three stars above and to the left of Regulus. Leo is best observed in spring from the northern hemisphere. Regulus is located almost on the ecliptic,meaning that solar system objects,including Mars,regularly pass close to it | |
