Astronomers noted that the star was extremely bloated and said that its interactions with the planet would be an interesting topic for a follow-up.Īstronomers announced the discovery of a large planet called GJ 436b in 2010, but things kept getting weirder with more observation. It is about 1,200 light-years away from Earth. Recent exoplanet discoveries in the constellation Leo show a cornucopia of strange words, as well as at least one planet that is potentially habitable.īack in 2008, astronomers found a planet orbiting a dying red giant star known as HD 102272. It is considered a masculine, extroverted sign. Leo is the fifth sign of the Zodiac and represents those born July 22 to August 22. Having broken all of his weapons fighting the man-eating lion, Hercules finally strangled it to death and placed it in the heavens as one of his conquests.Īstrology is not a science, but Leo is one of the 13 constellations of the Zodiac. Killing the lion was one of Hercules' 12 labors, which he had to perform as penance for killing his family. In Greek mythology, Leo is the Nemean Lion, which terrorized the citizens and had a hide that could not punctured by iron, bronze or stone.
