  15. Sirius’s Grandfather:ARCTURUS Arcturus follows the Great Bear (Ursa Major) across the night sky. The bear in the north comes from the Greek word ‘arktos’ (bear) and our word ‘arctic’.

  16. Sirius’s Uncle: ALPHARD Alphard is a giant star…so big that if it were in our Solar System, it would stretch halfway to the orbit of Mercury.
