- Denebola (stars.astro.illinois.edu)
DENEBOLA (Beta Leonis). Great Leo, who seems to rule northern spring skies, contains three stars of major note: bright Regulus, second magnitude Algieba (which shares the “Sickle” with Regulus), and mid-second magnitude (2.14) Denebola, the 62nd brightest star in the sky.
- Southern celestial hemisphere (Wikipedia)
The southern celestial hemisphere, also called the Southern Sky, is the southern half of the celestial sphere; that is, it lies south of the celestial equator. This arbitrary sphere, on which seemingly fixed stars form constellations, appears to rotate westward around a polar axis due to Earth’s rotation.
