Because of Its great bril liance, many mistake It for a planet. But planets glow with a steady light while this luminary is usually twinkling and flash ing with real energy. This Is Slrlus, the dog star of the ancients, and the nearest to us of any star seen from our part of the world. But "nearest" is used in a relative sense only, for the light from this splendid ob ject travelling 186,000 miles a sec- a -An,,i-M Inn a time to come across the Immensity of instel- lar darkness to us. ine otnan 1 llohtlntf hi toniffht left their source in 1934.

Historically it Is noted for the connection the ancient Egyp tians made between Its time of rising and the beginning of the annual rise of the river Nile. Around 1700 A.D. Edmund Hailey, famous in comet lore, found that Sirius had moved an apparent moon-width across the starrjr background since Ptolemy's measurements over 1S00 years earlier, so could no longer be considered a "fixed star." Then about 100 years ago Bessel de termined that it did not move evenly along Its established path but followed a wavy line. He predicted that Sirius and an un known star were mutually revolv ing around each other. Bessel thus "discovered" the companion of Slrlus by reasoning. In 1862 Alvan Clark turned his new 18',4-inch refractor, then the largest in the world, on Sirius. A tiny bright point was seen nestling beside the brilliant dog star. Clark had visually confirm ed Bessel's discovery.
