Latest incident: At 10 a.m. on November 15, 2008, Somali pirates defeated their escort** more than 450 miles off the east coast of Africa, thereby hijacking the Saudi Arabian supertanker Sirius, whose cargo was worth up to $100 million, along with 25 crew members on board. The Sirius is the second largest oil tanker in the world and the first time that Somali pirates have hijacked such a huge freighter.

The U.S. military warned on Monday that the incident meant that the transportation of goods along the Somali coast route was already facing greater difficulties.

Myths and legends: In ancient Chinese astrological theory, Sirius was the evil star of "the omen of the Lord's invasion". Qu Yuan wrote in "Nine Songs: Dongjun":

Raise a long arrow to shoot the wolf", using Sirius to compare the Qin State located in the northwest of the Chu State. In Su Shi's "Jiangchengzi", "he will hold the bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot the wolf", and use Sirius to compare the Western Xia that threatened the northwest border of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Sirius, whose apparent magnitude is only light-years from Earth, is one of the closest stars to Earth, twice the diameter of the Sun, and twice as massive as the Sun. The surface temperature is 10,500K

Companion Planet: Sirius is a binary star system. It also has a companion star, Sirius B, which is a white dwarf.

In the 19th century, astronomers observed Sirius' position and found that its self-motion was oscillating, so it should have an unobserved companion star, which was disturbed by the gravitational force of the companion star to change Sirius' position. However, it was not until 1862 that the existence of the companion star was confirmed through telescopes.

The companion star has a diameter of 12,000 kilometers, 10,000 times fainter than Sirius, a mass 98% of the Sun, and a surface temperature of 25,200 K; Due to the distance from Sirius, the former Sirius companion** has been the "patent" of the large telescope in the observatory, and until recent years it has been photographed by amateur astronomers. The Hubble Space Telescope measured Sirius B last year.

Nakshatras is an astronomical term that refers to the place where the sun, moon, and five stars dwell. A Nakshatra usually contains one or more stars. The ancients divided the vicinity of the ecliptic into 28 groups, commonly known as the "28 Nakshatras".

Because the 28 Nakshatras are listed in the four directions of the sun, moon, and five stars, much like the place where the sun, moon, and five stars dwell, it is called "sutra".

Introduction

The ancients believed that Sirius was an evil star and a master of raids. Sirius, also known as the dog star, is the star of the well, and the well is the first of the seven of the southern Suzaku houses. Su Shi has the words of "Jiangchengzi":

Will hold the bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot the wolf. The "Heavenly Wolf" refers to the Liao and Western Xia Kingdoms.

Many people use the phrase "July fire" to describe the heat of summer, which is a misconception. "The Book of Songs: July": "The fire flows in July, and the clothes are given in September."

The "fire" mentioned here is the fifth of the seven Nakshatras of the Eastern Canglong, "Antares", which is also called "Great Mars" because of its blood-red color. "Flowing fire" is when Mars gradually sets westward, and it is the time when the summer retreats and the cold is about to fall.

Sirius is located in the constellation Canis Major, the name according to the Bayle star nomenclatureCanis Major star

Sirius is the brightest star in the winter night sky.

Sirius is a double star that includes a hot white main-sequence star with a mass larger than the Sun, called Sirius A. The other companion star, much smaller than the Sun but with a mass comparable to the Sun, is a white dwarf called Sirius B. Sirius's apparent magnitude is equal, and the absolute magnitude is +.

Sirius is about light-years away from the Solar System. As can be seen from this distance,Sirius is right inside the Milky Way, and is one of the closest stars to the Sun.
