Name of Star: Leo Minor
Leo Minor is a small and faint constellation. Its name means "the smaller lion", in contrast to Leo, the larger lion. Its brightest stars form a rough triangle, and it lies between the larger and more recognizable Ursa Major and Leo. Leo Minor was not regarded as a separate constellation by the ancients; it was created by Johannes Hevelius in 1687..
