The star Wolf 359 (CN Leonis), one of the nearest stars to Earth at 7.8 light-years away, is in Leo. Wolf 359 is a red dwarf of magnitude 13.5; it periodically brightens by one magnitude or less because it is a flare star. [4] Gliese 436, a faint star in Leo about 33 light-years away from the Sun, is orbited by a transiting Neptune-mass ...

The Leo Triplet (also known as the M66 Group) is a small group of galaxies about 35 million light-years away [5] in the constellation Leo. This galaxy group consists of the spiral galaxies M65 , M66 , and NGC 3628 .
In 2016, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) [2] to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN's first bulletin, dated July 2016, [3] included a table of 125 stars comprising the first two batches of names approved by the WGSN (on 30 June and 20 July 2016) together with names of stars adopted by the IAU Executive Committee ...
The Leo Cluster (Abell 1367) is a galaxy cluster about 330 million light-years distant (z = 0.022 [1]) in the constellation Leo, with at least 70 major galaxies. The galaxy known as NGC 3842 is the brightest member of this cluster. [ 4 ]
Regulus is the brightest star in the constellation of Leo (right tip, below is bright Jupiter in 2004). Regulus is a multiple star system consisting of at least four stars and a substellar object. Regulus A is the dominant star, with a binary companion 177" distant that is thought to be physically related.
Denebola is a white main sequence star in the constellation Leo. With a distance of 36 light years from Earth, and an apparent magnitude of 2.14, [25] it is the third brightest star in the constellation and the 62nd in the night sky. [14] This star has often taken the place of Regulus in the Spring Triangle.
The Leo Triplet, which includes the spiral galaxies M65, M66, and NGC 3628, [3] [4] [5] is located physically near the M96 Group. [10] Some group identification algorithms actually identify the Leo Triplet at part of the M96 Group. [4] [6] The two groups may actually be separate parts of a much larger group. [10]
