Hi Guys!
Today, we find out the winning animal for the star constellation animal vote!
Drumroll please!......................And the winning animal constellation is.....The Lion!
We would just like to say thank you to everybody who voted, it was really fun for us! Congratulations on all the guests who voted for the Lion. BUT! You don't just walk away with empty hands do you? Everybody gets a free tip on how to view stars.
All you have to do is to download google earth. Click on google earth, then above the world, there is a planet called 'Saturn'. Click on it, and you can view: Earth, Sky, Mars or the Moon. Click on the sky and there will be all the star constellations there. Amazing!
Well, we promised we will give information on Leo.
The constellation of Leo
Leo is a star sign, which is part of the Zodiac. The Leo is known as a Lion, and the brightest star/part of this constellation is Regulus, or as known as Alpha Leonis.
Regulus is the winter star. It's colour is blue, with some yellow, pink and orange mixed together. It represents the Lion's breast/mane and can be seen more clearly above the coastline.
This constellation is readily recognisable.
Alpha Leonis is named Regulus because it was seen as the Heaven's Guardian, who regulated all things in the heavens.
Regulus is one of the four brightest stars in the sky.
While the name Regulus was given us by Copernicus, the star was better known as Cor Leonis, meaning the Lion's heart.
There are also less brighter stars in this constellation. These are:
Beta Leonis is called Denebola, which is the Lion's tail.
Gamma Leonis is Algeiba, the arabic word for forehead.
Zeta Leonis is Aldhafera, and the meaning is uncertain.
Epsilon Leonis and Mu Leonis go under the name of Al Ashfar which are the eyebrows.
Delta Leonis is Zosma, a Greek word meaning girdle.
Lambda Leonis is Alterf, apparently meaning extremity. It is located right at the tip of the Lion's mouth.
Some bears believed that this star was their pathway star to a great heaven where they could live peacefully. Nobody knows if it is actually true. Do you think it is?
The constellation of Leo has five Messier objects; M65, M66, M94 and M105.
Leo can only be seen clearly in early mornings.
Once again, thank you all for voting!
