New Fundamental section / The Star Sirius

The new FUNDAMENTAL SECTION- is a section of common and not so common everyday information!

I am starting with the star Sirius, It was mentioned briefly in the sci- fi section of the movie Star Wars.

Sirius is the brightest star in our galaxy.
It is a binary star system / it has (2) stars. Sirius A & B
It is part of the Canis Major constellation. Also know as the dog star, in association with the dog days of summer, {the hottest days of summer}.
Sirius B is a small star but is the brightest and most dense.
Sirius B is also known as the "pup star".

 Historically Sirius is closely linked to the Ancient Egyptian {Kemtic} culture through the Kemtic Belief System or and Osirisian Belief System {Christianity}.

The rising of Sirius is in conjunction with the flooding of the Nile river. This correlation between stars and events on Earth eventually give way to the charting of stars and their movement and this how the calender was later devised.

In astrology Sirius is associated with beryl and juniper.
beryl / beryllium- {be}, beryl can be in jewelry {emeralds} or can stand along as a mineral beryllium.
Juniper- is a type of tree, a coniferous {a pine tree} they live a long time and are from the old world. Juniper berries are used as a spice and for such things as flavor for gin.

It was the Dogon people of Mali, West Africa that taught Europeans of the star who later confirmed it when powerful telescopes were invented. The Dogon have a culture and religion that surrounds the star they brought with them from Ancient Egypt {Kemet}.   

Sirius B has a irregular orbit. The Romans would sacrifice dogs to the star?

In modern culture:
Sirius radio, satellite radio which has a little dog for the logo.
It is the name of a character in the Harry Potter series - Black Sirius.
It is also mentioned the movie Alien vs. Predator.

peace, love and unity
