Abstract

The article "Exploring the Lion's Den" in Sky & Telescope is a comprehensive guide to the constellation Leo and its celestial objects. It covers five Messier galaxies, various other galaxies, notable stars like Wolf 359 and Stan's Star, planetary and pre-planetary nebulae including the Frosty Leo Nebula, and dwarf galaxies like Leo II and Leo A. The article provides detailed information about the magnitudes, sizes, distances, and coordinates of these objects, as well as the challenges of observing them. It concludes by mentioning the farthest known galaxy in Leo, OGC 0032, which can be seen with a 10-inch telescope in the galaxy cluster Abell 1413. [Extracted from the article]
