Sirius Pictures Gallery
Sirius, also known as the Dog Star, is the brightest star in the sky. Its name comes from the Greek word for scorching. At 8.7 light years, it is also one of the closest stars to our own sun. In 1844, F.W. Bessel used analysis of its motion to determine that it had a companion. This companion was confirmed by observations in 1862 and is now known to be a white dwarf.
