Where in Canis Major is Sirius located?
If you know where Canis Major is, then you cannot miss Sirius. It is not only the brightest star in Canis Major, but the brightest in the night sky. Find Orion in the south, during the winter months in the northern hemisphere. Then find Orion’s Belt, and follow its line of stars down to the left and you will find Sirius. It is unmistakeable. It is now April, but it is still visible in the early part of the night, but by next month it will be harder to see and won’t be easily visible again until next winter.
