Standing in the northern hemisphere facing south and then looking up, Sirius will appear below and to the left of the constellation Orion. It is easy to spot as it is the brightest star in the night sky. Sirius A and Sirius B are both part of the same system and are much too close to each other for us to see the distance between them without a powerful telescope. The vast majority of the Sirius' light comes from Sirius A.
