Zosma, also known as Delta Leonis, is a real star system that exists in our universe. It is a star in the constellation of Leo and is one of the brighter stars in the night sky. | |||
===Overview=== | |||
Zosma, or Delta Leonis, is a blue-white main sequence star located approximately 58 light-years away from Earth. It is the fourth-brightest star in the constellation of Leo and is easily visible to the naked eye. The star's traditional name, Zosma, comes from the ancient Greek word ζώσημα (zōsēma), which means "girdle". This name refers to the star's position on the hip of the lion in the constellation of Leo. | |||
===Physical Properties=== | |||
Zosma is a spectral type A4V star, which means it is hotter and more luminous than our Sun. It has an apparent magnitude of +2.56, making it one of the brighter stars in the night sky. The star has a surface temperature of approximately 8,500 Kelvin, and it is about 1.75 times the size of the Sun. Zosma is also a fast rotator, with a projected rotational velocity of 105 km/s. | |||
The star is relatively young, with an estimated age of around 400 million years. It has a mass about 2.2 times that of the Sun and a luminosity about 15 times greater. Zosma is also known to be a source of X-ray emission, which is likely due to its high rotational velocity. | |||
===Observational History=== | |||
Zosma has been known since antiquity and is one of the stars that make up the constellation of Leo. The star was catalogued by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century AD, and it has been observed and studied by astronomers ever since. | |||
In modern times, Zosma has been the subject of numerous studies due to its high rotational velocity and its status as a nearby star. The star's high rotational velocity has made it a target for studies of stellar rotation and its effects on stellar properties. | |||

Zosma has been mentioned in various works of fiction and popular culture. For example, in the science fiction novel "The Songs of Distant Earth" by Arthur C. Clarke, Zosma is the home star of the planet Thalassa. | |||

Real Life Information
Zosma, also known as Delta Leonis, is a real star system that exists in our universe. It is a star in the constellation of Leo and is one of the brighter stars in the night sky.
Overview
Zosma, or Delta Leonis, is a blue-white main sequence star located approximately 58 light-years away from Earth. It is the fourth-brightest star in the constellation of Leo and is easily visible to the naked eye. The star's traditional name, Zosma, comes from the ancient Greek word ζώσημα (zōsēma), which means "girdle". This name refers to the star's position on the hip of the lion in the constellation of Leo.
Physical Properties
Zosma is a spectral type A4V star, which means it is hotter and more luminous than our Sun. It has an apparent magnitude of +2.56, making it one of the brighter stars in the night sky. The star has a surface temperature of approximately 8,500 Kelvin, and it is about 1.75 times the size of the Sun. Zosma is also a fast rotator, with a projected rotational velocity of 105 km/s.
The star is relatively young, with an estimated age of around 400 million years. It has a mass about 2.2 times that of the Sun and a luminosity about 15 times greater. Zosma is also known to be a source of X-ray emission, which is likely due to its high rotational velocity.
Observational History
Zosma has been known since antiquity and is one of the stars that make up the constellation of Leo. The star was catalogued by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century AD, and it has been observed and studied by astronomers ever since.
In modern times, Zosma has been the subject of numerous studies due to its high rotational velocity and its status as a nearby star. The star's high rotational velocity has made it a target for studies of stellar rotation and its effects on stellar properties.
In Popular Culture
