"Sirius (/ˈsɪriəs/) is the brightest star in the night sky. Its name is derived from the Greek word Σείριος Seirios "glowing" or "scorching". ... With a visual apparent magnitude of −1.46, Sirius is almost twice as bright as Canopus, the next brightest star."
"SEIRIOS (Sirius) was the god or goddess of the Dog-Star, the brightest star of the constellation Canis Major. The pre-dawn rising of the star in the path of the sun was believed to be the source of the scorching heat and droughts of midsummer."

Siriusly I dont think this is a coincidence Martin. 🙄
