Moon, Sirius and Me

Sirius from my phone app

While sitting in my room in the silence, I suddenly remembered stars. I forgot to look at them recently. I checked my phone and searched for some app which can be useful to me to star gaze and remind me to do it regularly. Luckily I found something great which is google sky map app. I installed it and went outside. Unfortunately, there were only two in the night sky. First one is the Moon which was shining so brightly. The other thing was Sirius. While everybody else failed the battle with the cloudy atmosphere of the Earth in this night, only Sirius could show up her veil of  light  to me. Everything happens for a good reason. There were nobody else in the sky except the Moon and Sirius, I think because I was supposed to look at Sirius so closely than ever. It was so bright as it is the brightest star that appear in the night sky of the Earth. It's a system of two stars named as Sirius A and Sirius B. Among the those, Sirius A is the  brightest one which gives the white light to the earth. The other one is a white dwarf which has already spent the most important part of its lifetime.

Sirius has been drawing the attention of humans from ancient civilizations at different times. Mostly, from different readings I did about her, Sirius has been considered as a source of life, a teacher and a guide in the right path. Being the brightest star in the night sky, she could easily draw the attention of humans who looked at the heavens with their naked eyes for thousands of years and become a part of their civilization and culture. I stayed outside my home for a while looking at the beauty that glow around 8.6 light years away from me. After 200 million years, she is still beautiful.

Here's a nice song which comes to my mind at this moment. Lyrics are from here. 

Good night fellow humans! :-)

"Starlight"

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight
I will be chasing the starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

But I'll never let you go
If you promised not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

And I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
I just wanted to hold
