Sirius - Brightest Diamond in the Night Sky (Paperback, 2007 ed.)

Of all the fixed stars in the night sky, Sirius is by far the
brightest - almost twice as bright as its nearest rival, the star
Canopus. Presently, new observations from space are revealing, in
precise terms, how stars like Sirius and the Sun have evolved and
what they will ultimately become, while at the same time answering
some of the age-old questions about Sirius. Sirius - A Diamond in
the Night will tell two stories. The first and most obvious is why
the star known as Sirius has been regarded as an important fixture
of the night sky by many civilizations and cultures since the
beginnings of history. A second, but related, narrative is the
prominent part that Sirius has played in how we came to achieve our
current scientific understanding of the nature and fate of the
stars.
