This constellation is named for the lion that Hercules killed during the first of his labors. The Chaldeans associated Leo with the summer solstice, since in ancient times Leo was visible in the sky at that time. The Egyptians worshipped the Lion because it was in the sky at the time of the flooding of the Nile. Leo is easiest to see in March. Leo is easy to locate; following the pointer stars of the Big Dipper South approximates the location of the bright blue-white star Regulus in Leo's chest. Regulus, the brightest star in the constellation is so named because it was seen as the one who regulated all things in the heavens. That name was given by Copernicus. In ancient times, the star was known as Cor Leonis, the Lion's Heart. Algeiba, another bright star in Leo means forehead in Arabic, and Denebola means lion's tail. Leo is the sign for people born between July 23 and August 22.
