Episode 8: Sirius
Manage episode 356309823 series 3442380
A much needed clear night sees Mr Max and Chris distracted by the fabulous show put on by the Moon and planets in the West, as well as the usual bush escapades. The show features the Orion Cinematic Universe, and a guide to finding our namesake, Sirius, the Dog Star. No longer a harbinger of doom and disease, the brightest star in the sky is interesting for all sorts of reasons, not least its mysterious companion.
More about Sirius here: https://earthsky.org/brightest-stars/sirius-the-brightest-star/ and you can see a wonderful Hubble Space Telescope image of both Sirius A and its faithful companion here: https://sci.esa.int/web/hubble/-/38421-the-dog-star-sirius-a-and-its-white-dwarf-companion
