Messier 66 or M66, also known as NGC 3627, is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the southern, equatorial half of Leo.It was discovered by French astronomer Charles Messier [8] on 1 March 1780, who described it as "very long and very faint". [9]
γ Leonis (Latinised to Gamma Leonis) is the star's Bayer designation.The A and B components of the binary are often referred to as γ 1 Leonis and γ 2 Leonis, respectively.. It also bore the traditional name Algieba or Al Gieba, which originated from the Arabic الجبهة Al-Jabhah, meaning 'the forehead' (despite this meaning, the star actually appears in the mane of Leo).
Rho Leonis (ρ Leo) is a binary star in the zodiac constellation of Leo, and, like the prominent nearby star Regulus, is near the ecliptic. With an apparent visual magnitude of 3.9, [4] this star can be readily seen with the naked eye. Spectroscopic measurements give a distance estimate of about 2,930 light-years (900 parsecs) from the Earth. [6]
AD Leonis (Gliese 388) is a red dwarf star. It is located relatively near the Sun, at a distance of 16.2 light-years (5.0 parsecs), in the constellation Leo. AD Leonis is a main sequence star with a spectral classification of M3.5V. [4] It is a flare star that undergoes random increases in luminosity. [5] [8]
Regulus is the brightest object in the constellation Leo and one of the brightest stars in the night sky. It has the Bayer designation designated α Leonis, which is Latinized to Alpha Leonis, and abbreviated Alpha Leo or α Leo. Regulus appears singular, but is actually a quadruple star system composed of four stars that are organized into two ...
Leos are ruled by the sun, making people want to bask in the warm, generous, giving light. Leos have a way of making others feel beautiful and special, which is why they tend to be social butterflies.
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 .
