32-451: Ultraman Leo comes from Nebula L77 ( Leo constellation ), and takes the human form of Gen Ootori. Ultraseven appears to fight a new foe, Alien Magma and his two "pets", the Red and Black Giras. Ultimately, Ultraseven is greatly overpowered and his leg is graphically broken by Black Giras. Ultraman Leo drives off the foes, but Ultraseven is confined to his human form because of his injuries and due to

64-467: A cave, luring warriors from nearby towns to save the damsel in distress, to their misfortune. The Lion was impervious to any weaponry; thus, the warriors' clubs, swords, and spears were rendered useless against it. Realizing that he must defeat the Lion with his bare hands, Hercules slipped into the Lion's cave and engaged it at close quarters. When the Lion pounced, Hercules caught it in midair, one hand grasping

96-497: A similar brightness to each other. The larger brighter asterisms are useful for people who are familiarizing themselves with the night sky. The patterns of stars seen in asterisms are not necessarily a product of any physical association between the stars, but are rather the result of the particular perspectives of their observations. For example the Summer Triangle is a purely observational physically unrelated group of stars, but

128-417: Is an observed pattern or group of stars in the sky . Asterisms can be any identified pattern or group of stars, and therefore are a more general concept than the 88 formally defined constellations . Constellations are based on asterisms, but unlike asterisms, constellations outline and today completely divide the sky and all its celestial objects into regions around their central asterisms. For example,

160-548: Is destroyed by Silver Bloome, a saucer monster that belongs to Commander Black. During the attack Dan asks Leo to keep defending the Earth and disappears in the conflagration. It is later shown that he was taken back to M78 to be fully healed and restored as Ultraseven. Gen is now unemployed and spends most of his time training the kids to defend themselves as well as defending the Earth as Ultraman Leo. Commander Black and Alien Bunyo capture Gen when he cannot transform completely. Gen as Leo

192-519: Is located in the Northern celestial hemisphere . Its name is Latin for lion , and to the ancient Greeks represented the Nemean Lion killed by the mythical Greek hero Heracles as one of his twelve labors. Its old astronomical symbol is [REDACTED] (♌︎). One of the 48 constellations described by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy , Leo remains one of the 88 modern constellations today, and one of

224-649: Is only visible in larger instruments. M95 is a barred spiral galaxy . M105 is about a degree away from the M95/M96 pair; it is an elliptical galaxy of the 9th magnitude, also about 20 million light-years from Earth. NGC 2903 is a barred spiral galaxy discovered by William Herschel in 1784. It is very similar in size and shape to the Milky Way and is located 25 million light-years from Earth. In its core, NGC 2903 has many "hotspots", which have been found to be near regions of star formation . The star formation in this region

256-505: Is then dismembered, only to be brought back to life by Ultraman King. Leo would then face Commander Black's final monster, Black End, with the kids he trained, the latter of whom kill Black, and hand the sphere used to control Black End to Leo. Finishing his mission, Gen removes his Leo Ring and sets off to tour Earth, his "second home". Besides the Shōwa period , Ultraman Leo's popularity and fighting ability enabled him to make guest appearances in

288-560: Is thought to be due to the presence of the dusty bar, which sends shock waves through its rotation to an area with a diameter of 2,000 light-years. The outskirts of the galaxy have many young open clusters . Leo is also home to some of the largest structures in the observable universe. Some of the structures found in the constellation are the Clowes–Campusano LQG , U1.11 , U1.54 , and the Huge-LQG , which are all large quasar groups ;

320-506: The nearest stars to Earth at 7.8 light-years away, is in Leo. Wolf 359 is a red dwarf of magnitude 13.5; it periodically brightens by one magnitude or less because it is a flare star . Gliese 436 , a faint star in Leo about 33 light-years away from the Sun, is orbited by a transiting Neptune-mass extrasolar planet . The carbon star CW Leo ( IRC +10216 ) is the brightest star in the night sky at

352-510: The Elder mentions 72 asterisms in his book Naturalis Historia . A general list containing 48 constellations likely began to develop with the astronomer Hipparchus (c. 190 – c. 120 BCE). As constellations were considered to be composed only of the stars that constituted the figure, it was always possible to use any leftover stars to create and squeeze in a new grouping among the established constellations. Exploration by Europeans to other parts of

384-480: The Lion's forelegs and the other its hind legs, and bent it backwards, breaking its back and freeing the trapped maidens. Zeus commemorated this labor by placing the Lion in the sky. The Roman poet Ovid called it Herculeus Leo and Violentus Leo . Bacchi Sidus (star of Bacchus ) was another of its titles, the god Bacchus always being identified with this animal. However, Manilius called it Jovis et Junonis Sidus (Star of Jupiter and Juno ). As of 2002 ,

416-448: The South"); and Theta Leonis , Chertan. Leo is also home to a bright variable star , the red giant R Leonis . It is a Mira variable with a minimum magnitude of 10 and normal maximum magnitude of 6; it periodically brightens to magnitude 4.4. R Leonis, 330 light-years from Earth, has a period of 310 days and a diameter of 450 solar diameters . The star Wolf 359 (CN Leonis), one of

448-442: The Sun appears in the constellation Leo from August 10 to September 16. In tropical astrology , the Sun is considered to be in the sign Leo from July 23 to August 22, and in sidereal astrology , from August 16 to September 17. USS Leonis (AK-128) was a United States Navy Crater class cargo ship . [REDACTED] Media related to Leo (constellation) at Wikimedia Commons Asterism (astronomy) An asterism

480-489: The Ultra Eye being damaged when he attempted to transform. Dan then maintains his role as Captain of MAC (Monster Attack Crew). Gen is a gymnastics teacher on the side and joins MAC to defend the Earth. Gen and Dan regularly train together, allowing Ultraman Leo to learn many moves in human form. In episode 34, Dan asks Ultraman Jack to take the Ultra Eye back to M78 to be restored while he heals on Earth. However, in episode 40 MAC

512-551: The asterism known as the Big Dipper or the Plough comprises the seven brightest stars in the constellation Ursa Major . Another asterism is the triangle , within the constellation of Capricornus . Asterisms range from simple shapes of just a few stars to more complex collections of many stars covering large portions of the sky. The stars themselves may be bright naked-eye objects or fainter, even telescopic, but they are generally all of

544-549: The constellation was called UR.GU.LA, the "Great Lion"; the bright star Regulus was known as "the star that stands at the Lion's breast." Regulus also had distinctly regal associations, as it was known as the King Star. In Greek mythology , Leo was identified as the Nemean Lion which was killed by Heracles (Hercules to the Romans) during the first of his twelve labours . The Nemean Lion would take women as hostages to its lair in

576-559: The earliest records are those of ancient India in the Vedanga Jyotisha and the Babylonians . Different cultures identified different constellations, although a few of the more obvious patterns tend to appear in the constellations of multiple cultures, such as those of Orion and Scorpius . As anyone could arrange and name a grouping of stars there was no distinct difference between a constellation and an asterism . For example, Pliny

608-406: The following Ultra Series after the end of the original TV series. In Thailand, Ultraman Leo first aired in 1995 on IBC7 (now called TrueVisions ). In December 2018, Tsuburaya Productions and Bandai Namco Entertainment released the series on Blu-ray. In November 2014, the series, along with Ultraman Max and Ultraman Mebius , began streaming on Crunchyroll . In December 2017, the series

640-492: The globe exposed them to stars previously unknown to them. Two astronomers particularly known for greatly expanding the number of southern constellations were Johann Bayer (1572–1625) and Nicolas Louis de Lacaille (1713–1762). Bayer had listed twelve figures made out of stars that were too far south for Ptolemy to have seen. Lacaille created 14 new groups, mostly for the area surrounding South Celestial Pole . Many of these proposed constellations have been formally accepted, but

672-481: The infrared N-band (10 μm wavelength). The star SDSS J102915+172927 (Caffau's star) is a population II star in the galactic halo seen in Leo. It is about 13 billion years old, making it one of the oldest stars in the Galaxy. It has the lowest metallicity of any known star. Modern astronomers, including Tycho Brahe in 1602, excised a group of stars that once made up the "tuft" of the lion's tail and used them to form

704-488: The latter being the second largest structure known (see also NQ2-NQ4 GRB overdensity ). The Leonids occur in November, peaking on November 14–15, and have a radiant close to Gamma Leonis . Its parent body is Comet Tempel-Tuttle , which causes significant outbursts every 35 years. The normal peak rate is approximately 10 meteors per hour. The January Leonids are a minor shower that peaks between January 1 and 7. Leo

736-423: The most easily recognizable due to its many bright stars and a distinctive shape that is reminiscent of the crouching lion it depicts. Leo contains many bright stars, many of which were individually identified by the ancients. There are nine bright stars that can be easily seen with the naked eye, four of the nine stars are either first or second magnitude which render this constellation especially prominent. Six of

768-457: The new constellation Coma Berenices (Berenice's hair), although there was precedent for that designation among the ancient Greeks and Romans. Leo contains many bright galaxies ; Messier 65 , Messier 66 , Messier 95 , Messier 96 , Messier 105 , and NGC 3628 are the most famous , the first two being part of the Leo Triplet . The Leo Ring , a cloud of hydrogen, helium gas, is found in

800-582: The nine stars also form an asterism known as "The Sickle," which to modern observers may resemble a backwards " question mark ", The sickle is marked by six stars: Epsilon Leonis , Mu Leonis , Zeta Leonis , Gamma Leonis , Eta Leonis , and Alpha Leonis . The rest of the three stars form an isosceles triangle, Beta Leonis (Denebola) marks the lion's tail and the rest of his body is delineated by Delta Leonis and Theta Leonis . Other named stars in Leo include Mu Leonis , Rasalas (an abbreviation of "Al Ras al Asad al Shamaliyy", meaning "The Lion's Head Toward

832-751: The only such stars in their asterisms or constellations, with Canopus in the Argo Navis asterism south of Sirius, visually east of the Carina Nebula and near the Large Magellanic Cloud (both being first-magnitude deep-sky objects), Achernar in the Eridanus constellation east of Canopus, Fomalhaut in the Southern Fish constellation east of Achernar and Antares in the Scorpius constellation visually near

864-847: The orbit of two galaxies found within this constellation. M66 is a spiral galaxy that is part of the Leo Triplet, whose other two members are M65 and NGC 3628. It is at a distance of 37 million light-years and has a somewhat distorted shape due to gravitational interactions with the other members of the Triplet, which are pulling stars away from M66. Eventually, the outermost stars may form a dwarf galaxy orbiting M66. Both M65 and M66 are visible in large binoculars or small telescopes, but their concentrated nuclei and elongation are only visible in large amateur instruments. M95 and M96 are both spiral galaxies 20 million light-years from Earth. Though they are visible as fuzzy objects in small telescopes, their structure

896-464: The previous year. Ultraman Leo , amongst other titles, will stream in the United States and Canada through Shout! Factory TV and Tokushoutsu. It was released on Blu-ray in the United States on May 25, 2021 by Mill Creek. Leo constellation Leo / ˈ l iː oʊ / is one of the constellations of the zodiac , between Cancer the crab to the west and Virgo the maiden to the east. It

928-745: The rest have remained as asterisms. In 1928, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) precisely divided the sky into 88 official constellations following geometric boundaries encompassing all of the stars within them. Any additional new selected groupings of stars or former constellations are often considered as asterisms. However, technical distinctions between the terms 'constellation' and 'asterism' often remain somewhat ambiguous. Some asterisms consist completely of bright first-magnitude stars , which mark out simple geometric shapes. Other asterisms consist partially of multiple first-magnitude stars. All other first-magnitude stars are

960-653: The stars of Orion's Belt are all members of the Orion OB1 association and five of the seven stars of the Big Dipper are members of the Ursa Major Moving Group . Physical associations, such as the Hyades or Pleiades , can be asterisms in their own right and part of other asterisms at the same time. In many early civilizations, it was common to associate groups of stars in connect-the-dots stick-figure patterns. Some of

992-739: Was one of the earliest recognized constellations, with archaeological evidence that the Mesopotamians had a similar constellation as early as 4000 BCE. The Persians called Leo Ser or Shir ; the Turks, Artan ; the Syrians, Aryo ; the Jews, Arye ; the Indians, Simha , all meaning "lion". Some mythologists believe that in Sumeria, Leo represented the monster Humbaba , who was killed by Gilgamesh . In Babylonian astronomy,
