Sirius is the brightest star in the night-time sky, with a visual apparent magnitude of −1.46. It is located in the constellation Canis Major.  As the major star of the "Big Dog" constellation, it is often called the "Dog Star".  Sirius can be seen from every inhabited region of the Earth's surface.  At a distance of 2.6 pc or 8.57 light years, Sirius is also one of the nearest stars to Earth. The best time of year to view it is around January 1, when it reaches the meridian at midnight.  Sirius can be found by following Orion's belt from the viewer's right to left.
