From the Latin "Greater Dog," Canis Major is one of the most famous constellations. It contains Sirius which is the brightest star in the night sky. In the night sky, this constellation has the appearance of a stick figure with Sirius at the head and Adhara - another bright star - at its end. Canis Major is best seen in the early evening in February. In Greek mythology, Canis Major is one of the two dogs accompanying Orion, the hunter, across the sky.
