There are approximately 10 billion stars in Messier 32.
There are estimated to be about 1 million stars in the globular cluster Messier 13 (M13) located in the constellation Hercules.
The first catalog of stars is credited to the Greek astronomer Hipparchus, who compiled his observations in the 2nd century BCE. Hipparchus cataloged around 850 stars and classified them based on their brightness.

The Messier objects are a set of astronomical objects catalogued by French astronomer Charles Messier in his catalogue of Nebulae and Star Clusters first published in 1774. The original motivation behind the catalogue was that Messier was a comet hunter, and was frustrated by objects which resembled but were not comets. He therefore compiled a list of these objects.[1] The first edition covered 45 objects numbered M1 to M45. The total list consists of 110 objects, ranging from M1 to M110. The final catalogue was published in 1781 and printed in the Connaissance des Temps in 1784. Many of these objects are still known by their Messier number.[2] Because Messier lived and did his astronomical work in France in the Northern Hemisphere, the list he compiled contains only objects from the north celestial pole to a celestial latitude of about -35°. Many impressive Southern objects, such as the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are excluded from the list. Because all of the Messier objects are visible with binoculars or small telescopes (under favorable conditions), they are popular viewing objects for amateur astronomers. In early spring, astronomers sometimes gather for "Messier marathons", when all of the objects can be viewed over a single night. Answer from Wikipedia and all of its sources
The elliptical galaxy Messier 87 in the Virgo Cluster is known for containing mostly older stars with a reddish color. These stars are typically low in mass and have evolved over billions of years, giving the galaxy its distinct red hue.

No. Charles messier made the first catalogue of stars and skies. His first version published in 1774 and other in 1781
The constellation of Leo contains the main sequence star, Regulus(Alpha Leonis), as well as Beta Leonis, Gamma Leonis, Delta Leonis, Zeta Leonis, Iota Leonis and Tau Leonis. Additional stars include Mu Leonis, Theta Leonis, red giant R Leonis, Wolf 359, Gliese 359, CW Leo, Caffau's Star. Leo also contains the Leo Ring, a group of large quasar groups and several galaxies including Messier 65, Messier 66, Messier 95, Messier 96, Messier 105 and NGC3628.
Leo contains three spiral galaxies (Messier 96, Messier 95, Messier 66 and Messier 65) and one elliptical galaxy (Messier 105).
The crater Messier on the Moon and the asteroid7359 Messier were named in his honor
