Sirius.You can find it in the sky easily. It's the brightest star at the upper front of the Canis Major, or Big Dog, constellation. To find that, first look for the three little stars in a row that form the belt of Orion the Hunter--they'll be high in the sky toward the south. The four stars that form a big rectangle around the belt make Orion. The Dog constellation follows the hunter, of course--that is, you'll find it right beside Orion, only a bit lower and farther east.
