Sirius A is the star that is seen from Earth and known since ancient times, it is the brightest star in the night sky.  As an A1V class star, it appears somewhat bluish in color.  The star is estimated to be over 2 times Sol’s mass and 1.68 to 1.71 its diameter.  Sirius is also much hotter with a surface temperature 9,940K, but the largest difference between the star and our sun is the luminosity, where Sirius is more than 21 times brighter.  Because of extreme brightness and temperature, the star is expected only to last another billion years before leaving the main sequence and becoming a [[Red Giant]]<ref name="SiriusAB">http://solstation.com/stars/sirius2.htm</ref>.
