    Leo Minor is a small and faint constellation in the northern celestial hemisphere. Its name is Latin for "the smaller lion", in contrast to Leo, the larger lion. It lies between the larger and more recognizable Ursa Major to the north and Leo to the south. Leo Minor was not regarded as a separate constellation by classical astronomers; it was designated by Johannes Hevelius in 1687.

    There are 37 stars brighter than apparent magnitude 6.5 in the constellation; three are brighter than magnitude 4.5. 46 Leonis Minoris, an orange giant of magnitude 3.8, is located some 95 light-years from Earth. At magnitude 4.4, Beta Leonis Minoris is the second brightest star and the only one in the constellation with a Bayer designation. It is a binary star, the brighter component of which is an orange giant and the fainter a yellow-white main sequence star. The third brightest star is 21 Leonis Minoris, a rapidly rotating white main-sequence star of average magnitude 4.5. The constellation also includes two stars with planetary systems, two pairs of interacting galaxies, and the unique deep-sky object Hanny's Voorwerp.

    Full Frontal Fridays

    by: Lamya

    I sleep and dream that life is
    All beauty
    I wake and find that life is
    All just duty
    But in the days before the dilution
    Music Pollution
    Oh we positively sparkled on TV
    Yeah from Full Frontal Fridays
    To Flashback Ruby Tuesdays
    Same old picture in a brand new frame
    But the song remains the same
    The first time was better
    Playing by new rules
    Age-old-game - double the pressure
    Half the pleasure
    City full of windows and design
    Towering towers of lies
    To climb and climb and climb
    Dreams of the view
    View from the top
    Pushing for the pressure to drop
    Don't want to end where the mistery stops
    I wanne be where the
    Sun never sets on a city
    That never skips a beat
    Sun always shines
    On a set that never sleeps
    Sound bites
    Set betting our hedges
    Trapped in the meshes
    Stuck in the marshes
    And only time, time, time marches on
    From Full Frontal Fridays
    To Flashback Ruby Tuesdays
    Same old picture in a brand new frame

    Glossing over where you placed the blame
    (I hear) remember my name
    You'll be screaming it later
    Scream my name
    You'll remember it better when it hits
    In the shiny glow
    Of 90210
    Before Jerry Springer
    The thongs, thongs
    And the video-ho
    Back before we were
    Tangled in drama
    Douching for dollars
    Bimbo to scholar
    Oh we positively sparkled on TV
    From Full Frontal Fridays
    To Flashback Ruby Tuesdays
    Lazy Sunday Bloody Mary Sundays
    Switch on make-believe
    Mondays always look better
    Gleaming in my reverie
    So much better sparkling on TV
    Sun never sets on a city
    That never skips a beat
    Sun always shines
    On a set that never sleeps
    Sound bites
    Set betting our hedges
    Trapped in the meshes
