If you look through a more powerful telescope, you will see galaxies, at distances of a few hundred thousands light years, up to billions of light years (depending on how powerful the telescope is).

Where did the name Leo come from?
Look at the shape of it. It looks like a horse or lion. The constellation sometimes connects the front and back legs as if the body of a lion lying down.

Leo is a rising constellation... unlike Canis the dog which shape is when it sets. When Canis rises it looks like a man, and so is called Anubis the man with a dogs head.
