 A Star which is the Brightest in Earths Night sky! 

The meaning of the star "Glowing" is derived from Greek a very fitting name because it was so bright even in Ancient times.

Sirius is also knows as the "Dog Star", because it is located in the Canis Majoris constellation which is Latin for "The greater dog".

It is a Binary Star meaning two Stars that are bound to orbit each other. Although Visibly it looks like one star, it actually consists of two stars that are very close together known as Sirius A & Sirius B.

(The below image shows the brightest star- Sirius A and the white Dwarf - Sirius B).


Sirius is twice as massive as the Sun and is 8.6 Light years away from Earth. 
It is visible in the evening skies in Late summer & Winter in the East and a easy way to find Sirius in the winder evening skies is to locate Orion which dominates this particular region.

Fun Fact: Some people feel the Sirius twinkles (Shimmers) a lot in the night sky, but that's just the Sirius light passing through Earths Atmosphere.


Hello People!

Whenever I see the stars I get mesmerized and wonder how far we all have travelled because we are actually looking in the past whenever we see a Star.

P.S you're appreciation and feedbacks are appreciated. 😊

    This topic is a complex subject to handle but I'm just giving my view, I recently visited my school after 7 long years, it was surreal to see the major changes in the school as well as the students personality. It's a wonderful moment to relive our school memories.   When we were in school we were so focused on what goes on in our lives and how to build our characters, but now a days students are more bothered about others life rather than their own, they compare their lives with others and are mostly never happy with their own lives.    The most bizarre thing I got to know from one of our teachers is that the students are not focused on studies, they are thinking that life is all about social media and impressing others. Every Person is unique in their own ways, but people fail to see this and continue to run in the rat race just like everyone.   I feel that students should focus on building their personality because school i...

 Hello Stranger, I apologize for never written about you, its not because I forgot the incident but perhaps I learned, understood and realized that without your guidance on that particular day I wouldn't have faced the perverts in public transport. I would've continued to ignore and given a bigger chance for them. I don't know if you can relate or not but I was advised by my family to stay silent and avoid confrontations with strangers. You see I don't blame them, they just want me to be safe and sound in society.  A simple advice from you on the early morning route to college changed my view on being silent all along with the harassments in public transports. I don't remember you so well because you just told me to start rising my voice otherwise this may continue and you got off the bus. I was stunned because I didn't expect you to give me that advice and didn't know you had noticed it too. Not just that you made me think about the situation and how other ...
