About this deal

The brightest star seen from Earth, Sirius is recorded in some of the earliest astronomical records. Its displacement from the ecliptic causes its heliacal rising to be remarkably regular compared to other stars, with a period of almost exactly 365.25days holding it constant relative to the solar year. This rising occurs at Cairo on 19July ( Julian), placing it just before the onset of the annual flooding of the Nile during antiquity. [28] Owing to the flood's own irregularity, the extreme precision of the star's return made it important to the ancient Egyptians, [28] who worshipped it as the goddess Sopdet ( Ancient Egyptian: Spdt, "Triangle"; [a] Greek: Σῶθις}, Sō̂this), guarantor of the fertility of their land. [b] Cool your telescope down! Ensure you bring your telescope outside about an hour before observing to cool it to ambient temperature. The telescope must reach thermal equilibrium with the outside air temperature to avoid distorted views while observing. Telescopes with large mirrors and lenses may take longer to cool down for the best views. Henderson, T. (1839). "On the parallax of Sirius". Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. 5 (2): 5–7. Bibcode: 1839MNRAS...5....5H. doi: 10.1093/mnras/5.2.5. In 1985, German astronomers Wolfhard Schlosser and Werner Bergmann published an account of an 8th-century Lombardic manuscript, which contains De cursu stellarum ratio by St. Gregory of Tours. The Latin text taught readers how to determine the times of nighttime prayers from positions of the stars, and a bright star described as rubeola ("reddish") was claimed to be Sirius. The authors proposed this was further evidence SiriusB had been a red giant at the time. [67] Other scholars replied that it was likely St.Gregory had been referring to Arcturus. [68] [69]

M79 is a rare wintertime globular cluster located in the constellation Lepus, the Hare, which is direct to the south of Orion. The cluster contains about 150,000 stars and has an apparent magnitude of 8.5. It appears as a hazy star in binoculars, while small telescopes will reveal a hazy, brighter core. 8" telescopes will resolve the core into stars. M79 is an ideal target for urban viewing, and you won't have to wait until summertime to view globular clusters when they are most plentiful.

SiriusA, also known as the Dog Star, has a mass of 2.063 M ☉. [12] [13] [88] The radius of this star has been measured by an astronomical interferometer, giving an estimated angular diameter of 5.936±0.016 mas. The projected rotational velocity is a relatively low 16km/s, [16] which does not produce any significant flattening of its disk. [89] This is at marked variance with the similar-sized Vega, which rotates at a much faster 274km/s and bulges prominently around its equator. [90] A weak magnetic field has been detected on the surface of SiriusA. [91] Several cultures also associated the star with a bow and arrows. The ancient Chinese visualized a large bow and arrow across the southern sky, formed by the constellations of Puppis and Canis Major. In this, the arrow tip is pointed at the wolf Sirius. A similar association is depicted at the Temple of Hathor in Dendera, where the goddess Satet has drawn her arrow at Hathor (Sirius). Known as "Tir", the star was portrayed as the arrow itself in later Persian culture. [128]

The Orion Nebula, also known as M42, is one of the most famous and easily visible deep sky objects in the winter sky. M42 is located in Orion's sword region and, with the unaided eye, appears to be a "fuzzy star" shining at magnitude 4. The nebula is transformed into a huge grayish "cosmic flower" of gas and dust through a telescope or a small pair of binoculars. M42 is an interstellar nursery where baby stars are formed. In the core of the nebula is the famous Trapezium cluster of stars. The Trapezium illuminates the gases in the Orion Nebula. It is a diffuse cloud of gas and dust about 1,300 lightyears away. a b Fabricius, C.; Høg, E.; Makarov, V.V.; Mason, B.D.; Wycoff, G.L.; Urban, S.E. (2002). "The Tycho double star catalogue".

The astronomical calendar determines the seasons due to the 23.5 degrees oftilt of the Earth's rotational axis in relation to its orbit around the Sun. Both Equinoxes and Solstices are related to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. However, the dates ofthe Equinox and Solsticearen't fixed due to the Earth's elliptical orbit of the Sun.

Luxury holidays for winter sun Overall, with plant growth stopped, Winter can become a challenging season for farmers, leaving only animal produce and the Greenhouse as the mainstay of farm produce. However, the reduced intensity of farming makes it an excellent season for other activities, including foraging, The Mines/ Skull Cavern exploration, fishing, digging at artifact spots, and gift-giving - with nine birthdays, Winter is tied with Summer for most birthdays in a season. It also makes it easier to obtain Farm and Tool upgrades without impacting normal routines. Spahn, Mark; Hadamitzky, Wolfgang; Fujie-Winter, Kimiko (1996). The Kanji dictionary.

Hey, at least in the winter you don't have to worry about crops.” With an apparent magnitude of −1.46, Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky, almost twice as bright as the second-brightest star, Canopus. [71] From Earth, Sirius always appears dimmer than Jupiter and Venus, and at certain times also dimmer than Mercury and Mars. [72] Sirius is visible from almost everywhere on Earth, except latitudes north of 73°N, and it does not rise very high when viewed from some northern cities (reaching only 13°above the horizon from Saint Petersburg). [73] Because of its declination of roughly −17°, Sirius is a circumpolar star from latitudes south of 73°S. From the Southern Hemisphere in early July, Sirius can be seen in both the evening where it sets after the Sun and in the morning where it rises before the Sun. [74] Along with Procyon and Betelgeuse, Sirius forms one of the three vertices of the Winter Triangle to observers in the Northern Hemisphere. [75] Sirius is colloquially known as the " Dog Star", reflecting its prominence in its constellation, Canis Major (the Greater Dog). [19] The heliacal rising of Sirius marked the flooding of the Nile in Ancient Egypt and the " dog days" of summer for the ancient Greeks, while to the Polynesians, mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, the star marked winter and was an important reference for their navigation around the Pacific Ocean. Winter is unique amongst the seasons in that no outdoors Crops apart from Winter Seeds and Fiber Seeds will grow, and all Grass, Weeds, and most tilled soil (including all fertilizer, even if the tile remains tilled) will all be removed at the start of the season. Bee Houses will also not produce honey during winter. Finally, standard trees, including those planted on the farm (except fruit trees) do not grow in winter unless Tree Fertilizer is applied. M46 and M47 are bright open star clusters about a degree apart from one another, located in the Puppis, the Stern. M46 contains around 500 stars and is almost the size of the full Moon, with an apparent magnitude of 6.1. M46 is easy to spot in binoculars and small telescopes. Using Sirius as a guidepost, M46 is located about 14 degrees northeast of the Dog Star, Sirius. In dark skies, a modest aperture telescope will reveal planetary nebula NGC 2438, which appears like a tiny bubble nestled within the cluster's northern boundary. M47 is one of the least densely populated open clusters, with only around 50 stars, taking up about the same size as the full Moon. M47 has an apparent magnitude of 4.2 and is located about 12 degrees northeast of the Dog Star, Sirius. Binoculars and a small telescope will easily reveal this loose cluster of stars.

Meteorological seasons consist of splitting the seasons into four periods made up of three months each. These seasons are split to coincide with our Gregorian calendar, making it easier for meteorological observing and forecasting to compare seasonal and monthly statistics. SiriusA is about twice as massive as the Sun ( M ☉) and has an absolute visual magnitude of +1.43. It is 25times as luminous as the Sun, [13] but has a significantly lower luminosity than other bright stars such as Canopus, Betelgeuse, or Rigel. The system is between 200 and 300million years old. [13] It was originally composed of two bright bluish stars. The initially more massive of these, SiriusB, consumed its hydrogen fuel and became a red giant before shedding its outer layers and collapsing into its current state as a white dwarf around 120million years ago. [13] Sirius is a binary star system consisting of two white stars orbiting each other with a separation of about 20AU [e] Adams, W. S. (December 1915). "The Spectrum of the Companion of Sirius".

Bragança, Pedro (15 July 2003). "The 10 Brightest Stars". SPACE.com. Archived from the original on 16 June 2009 . Retrieved 4 August 2006. A white dwarf forms after a star has evolved from the main sequence and then passed through a red giant stage. This occurred when Sirius B was less than half its current age, around 120million years ago. The original star had an estimated 5 M ☉ [13] and was a B-type star (most likely B5V for 5 M ☉) [96] [97] when it was still on the main sequence, potentially burning around 600–1200 times more luminous than the sun. While it passed through the red giant stage, SiriusB may have enriched the metallicity of its companion, explaining the very high metallicity of SiriusA. Makemson, Maud Worcester (1941).
