In fact it’s a star called Sirius, which is twenty times brighter than our sun and twice as massive! Sirius is part of the constellation Canis Majoris and is 8.7 light years away. It’s actually much closer than the North Star, which is close to 430 light years away.Sirius was not discovered and named until 1862, yet for thousands of years it has been venerated by the Dogon Tribe in Mali. They believe that aliens have come from the star, and still worship it for its brightness.
