Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. At a distance of 8.6 light years, the Sirius system is one of Earth's near neighbors. The Sirius system contains two of the eight nearest stars to the Solar System and is the fifth closest stellar system to ours. This proximity is the main reason for its brightness, as with other nearby stars such as Alpha Centauri and in stark contrast to distant, highly luminous supergiants such as Canopus, Rigel, and Betelgeuse. However, it is still around 25 times more luminous than the Sun. https://goo.gl/bvS6z3
