http://stardate.org/nightsky/meteorsHow to find constellation Leo?You don't need to locate Leo to observe the Leonids (or any other meteor shower, either). Shower meteors are seen all over the sky...they are just named for the constellation in which they appear to radiate from. In fact, you don't want to look at the radiant, as the meteors close to the radiant will be slow moving and short. The best meteors are about 90掳 away from the radiant.
If you want to locate Leo, use the Big Dipper. The stars which form the bowl of the Dipper converge on Leo. It looks like a backwards question mark and a right angled triangle. It will rise in the east around 3 a.m.How to find constellation Leo?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_(conste鈥?/a>
