Canis Major, the Great Dog
Canis Major loyally follows its mythical master, Orion, across the southern skies of winter.

The brightest star in Canis Major also is the brightest in the entire night sky — brilliant Sirius, which is just 8.6 light-years away. That's only twice as far as our closest stellar neighbor.
