PROGRAM- All About Sirius: The Dog Star
By: Dr. William J Busler, President Emeritus and Honorary Member of M.A.S.
Sirius is the brightest star in the sky, well placed for observation during the cold winter months. It is also one of the nearest stars, and we know a lot about it. Bill covers the interesting facts (and fiction!) about the Dog Star, and how astronomers have made the measurements behind the knowledge. Along the way, he reviews many facets of basic astronomy and stellar evolution - including several examples from the MAS.fits Astrophotography Group.
