Sirius, the brightest star, is an 8.6 light-year-distant binary system in Canis Major, comprising Sirius A and a white dwarf, Sirius B. Revered by ancient cultures, it marked Egypt’s Nile floods, inspired Greek and Babylonian myths, and guided Polynesian navigation. Modern science studies its role in stellar evolution, Einstein’s relativity, and white dwarf physics. Sirius unites science, mythology, and history as a timeless cosmic symbol.
