Sirius, The Dog Star. Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. It’s actually a pair of stars: Sirius A, a star twice as massive and 25 times as luminous as our Sun, and Sirius B, a tiny white dwarf star. In 2005, astronomers used Hubble to “weigh” Sirius B, which is 98 percent the mass of our Sun. Its mass is compacted into a ball 7,500 miles across, smaller than Earth.

The Christmas Star
The light from this star falls
from heaven to illuminate the way,
Of wise men and simple shepherds
from then to this day.
