 Sirius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sirius (α CMa / α Canis Majoris / Alpha Canis Majoris) is the brightest star in the nighttime sky, with a visual apparent magnitude of −1.46.
In 1844 Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel deduced that Sirius was actually a binary star.
In 1909, Ejnar Hertzsprung suggested that Sirius was part of the Ursa Major Moving Group; however, more recent research by Jeremy King et al.

The groups objected to Sirius’ approach to and reduced levels of Canadian content and French language programming, along with the exclusion of Canadian non-commercial broadcasting.
While not classifed as "commercials", Sirius is able to bombard customers with advertising of its own channels and programming.
In addition to the channel-programming deals, Sirius has also programmed a number of more conventional shows with well known personalities in a number of fields.

 Sirius 2
Sirius is also the lower left member of the "Winter Triangle" of first magnitude stars, whose other components are Procyon (Alpha Canis Minoris) at upper left and Betegeuse (Alpha Orionis) at right center.
The analyses did not resolve whether the perturbing body orbits Sirius A or B, although dynamical simulations suggest that stable orbits exist around both stars at circumstellar distances up to more than half the binary system's closest separation of 8.1 AUs (Daniel Benest, 1989).

Aptly named, Sirius comes from the Greek word Seirius, meaning, "searing" or "scorching." Blazing at a visual magnitude of -1.42, it is twice as bright as any other star in our sky.
At magnitude 8.5, it is 1/400th as luminous as the Sun.
Magnitude: A logarithmic brightness scale; the difference between magnitude 1 and magnitude 5 is 100 fold.

This is an accurate description of our knowledge of Sirius B, after it was observed with powerful telescopes, and described by scientists using the theories of quantum mechanics and relativity.
This is unlikely, given our knowledge of stellar evolution, which estimates the time for such a transition to be more like 100,000 years, but as Chandra, Hubble and other modern telescopes have shown, nature still has plenty of surprises in store for us.
The nature of the knowledge imparted is consistent with a visit by a science attentive person in the 1930s or 1940s when the discovery of the nature of Sirius B was being widely discussed in popular science books.

 Sirius
While studying Sirius in 1718, Edmond Halley discovered that stars move with respect to each other.
In 1862, Sirius was discovered to be a binary star system with a companion star, Sirius B, 10,000 times dimmer than the bright primary, Sirius A. Sirius B was the first white dwarf star discovered, a type of star first understood by Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar in 1930.
As Sirius is 8.7 light years distant, it is not the closest star system -- the Alpha Centauri system holds this distinction.

Although Robert K.G. Temple’s book The Sirius Mystery was taken more seriously than many other ancient-astronaut writings when it was first published in 1977, it met with some bad luck; it was criticized by two important science figures, writer Ian Ridpath and celebrity-astronomer Carl Sagan.
And for scientists who search for evidence of intelligent life in the universe, Sirius has never been on their list of places to look.
He pointed out that some of the information, like that concerning the superweight of Sirius B, was only a few years old when anthropologists first collected it from the Dogon in 1931.

 Sirius
The star's greatest claim to fame may be its dim eighth magnitude (8.44) companion, Sirius B, which is visually nearly 10,000 times fainter than the bright star, Sirius A. Sirius B, however, is actually the hotter of the two, a blue-white 24,800 Kelvin.
To have evolved first, Sirius B must once have been more massive and luminous than Sirius A.
Given the 250 million year age of the system, Sirius B may once have been a hot class B3 star that could have contained as much as 6 or 7 solar masses, the star losing over 80 percent of itself back into interstellar space through earlier winds.
