FARGO — Despite what individuals frequently state, the referral to late summer season as the “Dog Days” really has little to do with dogs. Instead, it is a referral to Sirius, the Dog Star. Sirius is the brightest light noticeable in the sky, not consisting of the moon, the sun and the other worlds. It is finest seen in northern latitudes this time of year which, coincidentally, is frequently the most popular part of our summer season.
Ancient individuals thought the heat throughout late summer season was because of heat from Sirius integrating with heat from the sun as the intense star might be seen increasing and embeding in tandem with the sun for a couple of weeks throughout the most popular part of the year. In reality, no quantifiable heat can reach Earth heat from any star in the sky aside from the sun. If our sun did not exist and Earth produced no internal heat, the radiation from all the stars in the sky would hardly keep our world above outright absolutely no.
