The main stars of the Leo constellation include Regulus, Denebola, and Algieba. Regulus, often referred to as the "heart of the lion," is the brightest star in Leo. Denebola marks the tail of the lion, while Algieba, a binary star system, is located in the lion's mane. Together, these stars form a distinctive shape that represents the lion in the night sky.
