Untertitel Diagramm: The constellation Leo Minor with its brighter stars and surrounding constellations. Leo Minor is surrounded by (going clockwise from the top): Ursa Major, Lynx, Cancer and Leo. Leo Minor is a small constellation with relatively few bright stars. It is a separate constellation from and should not be confused with its larger neighbour Leo.

Leo Minor is a northern constellation and thus the whole constellation is visible at some point in the year throughout the northern hemisphere. The whole constellation is also visible from equatorial and temperate regions of the southern hemisphere. Leo Minor is circumpolar in arctic regions. This constellation is best viewed in the northern hemisphere spring and southern hemisphere autumn.

The y-axis of this diagram is in degrees of declination with north as up and the x-axis is in hours of right ascension with east to the left. The sizes of the stars marked here relate to the star's apparent magnitude, a measure of its apparent brightness. The larger dots represent brighter stars. The Greek letters mark the brightest stars in the constellation. These are ranked by brightness with the brightest star being labeled alpha, the second brightest beta, etc., although this ordering is not always followed exactly. The dotted boundary lines mark the IAU's boundaries of the constellations and the solid green lines mark one of the common forms used to represent the figures of the constellations. Neither the constellation boundaries, nor the lines joining the stars appear on the sky. The blue line in the bottom right marks the ecliptic.
