Denebola- 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.

SHAULA (Lambda Scorpii). In temperate northern summers, Scorpius glides above the southern horizon, its lower curved tail almost out of sight, while in the temperate southern winter, the constellation passes high overhead. At the end of the tail lies a pair of stars that represent the scorpion’s “stinger,” once called Shaula, from Arabic meaning exactly that.
