Sirius, in the constellation Canis major, is the brightest star in the night sky.
Right now, it’s below the constellation Orion, the hunter, at about 7 p.m. If you go out of Christmas evening and look at through binoculars, it will appear to be sparkling. in colors.
It’s not the Christmas star. It’s not guiding anyone anywhere, But you could do worse that to be out on a clear night, watching the stars, listening to see if the animals are talking in the manger.
