What if Sirius is so bright because its a double star. Next reason its
only 8.6 LY away. Next reason its color is white. Next reason its 1.7 time bigger than the Sun. This question just came to mind. Do all main sequence stars shine with color white? I think so. Why is it called the "Dog Star? TreBert |

However, Sirius(A) is actually offering a bluish-white color/hue because it's burning at such greater temperature. Sirius(B) was originally worth at least 8.5 up to 9.5 Ms, and when combined along with those extremely bluish-white photons from the 3+ Ms of that original Sirius(A) should have been an extremely vibrant source of UV, X-rays and gamma for us, while Sirius(B) was originally downright extreme by likely many times as bright as our moonlight, except nearly all UV and higher spectrum that we humans can’t see, but diatoms can directly benefit from such extreme spectrums of light. The many names for Sirius, including "Dog star", is just from the history of what others named such things, usually having something to do with one of their many gods or something else they admired or thought represented as a depiction. A basic internet search covers everything anyone really needs to know about such names. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirius There could also have once been a Sirius(C), and Sirius(B) lost all of its planets. ~ BG |

We ought to go there and find out these things for ourselves. Only take about a month with modern technology. As soon as the scientists are ready and brave enough to learn facts instead of theory. |

Look at how fast our line of sight travels to those stars. Considering the all-inclusive directions that photons of the entire spectrum must travel away from their origin, and the trillions of atoms aligned directly in their path, whereas it seems amazing that we get to see hardly anything of whatever's actually out there. There should easily be 1e184 photons existing by now, plus at least another 3.154e94 more created per year. Meanwhile, we have to make do with fewer and fewer atoms. Interesting how many quantum 2D string like photons there are, and I do believe I'm being conservative. ~ BG |
