The Dog Star

Sirius, the "Dog Star" is located in the constellation Canis Major. There are many mystical and ancient stories surrounding the brightest of stars. The ancient Egyptians held this star in such high esteem, that they created a religion and calendar around Sirius. The expression, "the dog days of summer" has its roots in the rising of the dog star, before the flooding of the Nile in the hot summer months. For the ancient Greeks, this would be met with a grand celebration.
So the next time you "wish upon a star," chances are that star will be Alpha Canis Majoris or the "Dog Star."
