What constellation is August 12 in the solar calendar?

August in Gregorian calendar 12 is Leo.

Leo, the fifth house of the zodiac, was born from July 23rd to August 22nd, located in the east of Cancer and west of Virgo.

Leo is a bright constellation, which is easy to recognize in the spring sky. Six stars, such as Xuanyuan XIV, Xuanyuan XIII and algie Ba, form a sickle (or inverted question mark) structure from south to north, representing the lion's head, neck and mane.

Leo is very famous. It is not only one of the 12 zodiac signs, but also unforgettable. It was named after a grand cosmic fireworks show in 200 1 year, namely the Leonid meteor shower.

The famous Leonid meteor shower is not from Leo. This meteor shower was formed when particles scattered by a comet named Temple tuttle passed through the atmosphere. Because the projection of the direction of the meteor shower on the celestial sphere coincides with the projection of Leo on the celestial sphere, it looks as if the meteor shower was ejected from Leo on the earth, so it is called the Leonid meteor shower.
