Here's why:
* Northern Hemisphere: Leo is a constellation of the Northern Hemisphere.
* Spring and Summer: The Earth's position in its orbit around the sun during these months allows us to see constellations of the Northern Hemisphere more prominently in the night sky.
* Specific Timing: Leo will be highest in the sky in the early evening around June.
To find Leo, look for a distinctive pattern of stars that resembles a backwards question mark. The brightest star in Leo is Regulus, marking the heart of the lion.
Keep in mind that light pollution from cities like Santa Clara can make it harder to see fainter stars. If you want a better view, consider heading to a location with darker skies.
