Leo constellation
Leo constellation with Mars. Optical image of the zodiacal constellation Leo, the lion, seen with the planet Mars (orange, centre). The body of the lion is formed from the six bright stars from upper centre to lower left. The brightest of the group, Regulus (Alpha Leonis, blue, upper centre), marks the heart of the lion, with Denebola (Beta Leonis, white, lower left) marking its tail. The lions head is formed from the hook of three stars above and to the left of Regulus. Leo is best observed in spring from the northern hemisphere. Regulus is located almost on the ecliptic, meaning that solar system objects, including Mars, regularly pass close to it

Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Leo constellation in all its celestial glory, accompanied by the radiant presence of Mars. The optical image beautifully captures the zodiacal constellation Leo, resembling a majestic lion with its body outlined by six brilliant stars stretching from the upper center to the lower left. Among this stellar ensemble, Regulus stands out as the brightest star, adorning the heart of this cosmic feline in a mesmerizing blue hue. Denebola marks its tail with an ethereal white glow. The head of Leo takes shape through a trio of stars gracefully curving above and to the left of Regulus, forming an enchanting hook-like formation. Spring nights offer prime viewing opportunities for stargazers located in the northern hemisphere who wish to observe this awe-inspiring spectacle. Regulus holds a special position almost on the ecliptic plane, making it a frequent rendezvous point for various solar system objects including Mars itself. This intriguing conjunction adds another layer of fascination to this already captivating scene.
