From Wikipedia
Regulus is the brightest object in the constellation Leo and one of the brightest stars in the night sky. It has the Bayer designation designated α Leonis, which is Latinized to Alpha Leonis, and abbreviated Alpha Leo or α Leo. Regulus appears single, but is actually a quadruple star system composed of four stars that are organized into two pairs. The system lies approximately 79 light years (24.2 parsecs) from the Solar System. The spectroscopic binary Regulus A consists of a blue-white main-sequence star and its companion, a pre-white dwarf. Regulus BC, also known as HD 87884, is separated from Regulus A by 176″ and is itself a close pair. Regulus and five slightly dimmer stars (Zeta Leonis, Mu Leonis, Gamma Leonis, Epsilon Leonis, and Eta Leonis) have collectively been called 'the Sickle', which is an asterism that marks the head of Leo.
