[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0]Well, there is a star of the same name too (Sirius Canus Majoris AKA the Dog Star).

Warning: Science Geek in the room.

Alpha Canis Majoris, to be pedantic, and I'm still not sure about the ending. My astronomy text says the names are supposed to be the "possessive" form of the constellation name (or something), but my Latin grammar doesn't match my vocabulary (which isn't all that classically impressive to begin with).[/colorost_uid0]
