Starry Night is an excellent
aid for exploring the heavens...a superb, well documented program that
will transform you into an expert in no time. "There are few experiences as invigorating as being out in the countryside standing under a canopy of star on a still night. Starry Night conveys that feeling better than any other desktop planetarium" --New York Times |

Sirius is the main star in the constellation Canis Major. A look back towards the sun as viewed from Sirius, 8.6 light years from Earth.
