sirius

Sirius is a binary star system located in the constellation Canis Major. It consists of two white stars orbiting each other with a separation of about 20 AU, which is roughly the distance between the Sun and Pluto. The stars in the Sirius system are very bright and are easily visible from Earth, making it the brightest star in our night sky.
The name Sirius comes from the Greek word "sírios," which means "glowing" or "bright." This name is fitting as the star is incredibly bright and appears to glow with a blue-white color.
Sirius is also known as the Dog Star, and it is often associated with the constellation Canis Major, which is a large and prominent constellation in the northern hemisphere.
In addition to its celestial significance, the name Sirius is also associated with the satellite radio service SiriusXM, which provides music, sports, and news programming to listeners in the United States and Canada.
