Directly overhead at this time are the two “Lions of Summer,” Leo and Leo Minor. Leo is impressive and fairly easy to identify. The bright star overhead is Regulus, the brightest star in Leo. The lion’s mane extends from there northward and his face is facing west. This is also known as an asterism, the Sickle. His body extends eastward and ends in a triangle of stars. North of this is the constellation Leo Minor. The stars are fainter and the constellation does not look much like a lion.
