Leo, Leo Minor, and Sextans in 3D
The image painted on the base grid is the relevant 5,547 ly x 5,547 ly section of the NASA/JPL-Caltech Milky Way map. The circle in one quadrant of the image is the smallest circle centered around the Sun in the NASA/JPL-Caltech Milky Way map, a circle with a radius of 750 light years. The base grid lies along the actual galactic plane. ρ Leonis is far more distant than the other bright stars of Leo, Leo Minor, and Sextans. See below for a view of the stars of Leo, Leo Minor, and Sextans without ρ Leonis.
