Sirius the Bright Fixed Star and Its Vast Distances
Sirius lies about 70 billion miles away and is the brightest star seen from our hemisphere. It appears to move barely an inch per century, implying a travel speed of 1.9 million miles per day. Light from Sirius tonight left the star 30 years ago, and its enormity dwarfs our sun. If swapped, our sun would be nearly invisible next to Sirius, which would incinerate the Earth in an instant.
