A wide variety of sources [5] [6] [7] define LEO in terms of altitude.The altitude of an object in an elliptic orbit can vary significantly along the orbit. Even for circular orbits, the altitude above ground can vary by as much as 30 km (19 mi) (especially for polar orbits) due to the oblateness of Earth's spheroid figure and local topography.
The signs enumerate from the first day of spring, known as the First Point of Aries, which is the vernal equinox. The astrological signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.
Its most conspicuous feature is the broad and obscuring band of dust located along the outer edge of its spiral arms, effectively transecting the galaxy to the view from Earth. Due to the presence of an x-shaped bulge, [ 9 ] visible in multiple wavelengths, it has been argued that NGC 3628 is instead a barred spiral galaxy with the bar seen end ...
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 .
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.
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]
Earth is getting a temporary second "mini moon," a.k.a. the 2024 PT5 asteroid. Here's how you can see it and if it will affect your astrological star sign.
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 ]
