Leo

Leo the Lion is a zodiac constellation that looks as much like what it is supposed to be as any star grouping named by the ancients. This doesn't mean that it is the most apparent object in the night sky, but once you find where it is you will definitely see a lion without using too much imagination. One of the easiest to visualize asterisms, or stars that form a familiar shape, lies within Leo, as well as a couple of bright stars that have names.
