This Is Slrlus, the dog star of
the ancients, and the nearest to

significant the mere eight min

Slrlus, like all real stars, Is -a
blazing sun and appears small
only because of its enormous dis
tance. It Is hotter than our sun,
gives a whiten light, and Is ac
tually 27 times more luminous.
With our present eye construc

we as near this mighty sun as to
our own.
Sirius Is rich In classical leg
end. 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.
