Leo, the lion, is a constellation of the zodiac. Connect the dots and see if you can imagine a lion.
The brightest star (Alpha Leo) in Leo is Regulus (meaning "little king") - it is one of the lion's front paws. The second-brightest star (Beta Leo) is Denebola (meaning "tail of the lion").
The constellation Leo is located between the constellations Virgo and Cancer along the ecliptic. (The ecliptic is the plane defined by the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Most of the planets in our solar system orbit close to this plane.)
Throughout history, people have given names to groups of stars in the sky. A constellation is a group of stars that we see in the sky. These stars are not necessarily located together in space, but they look as though they are a group when seen from Earth. See if you can find these stars in the night sky.
