We are in the dog days of summer, and that means that the star Sirius is about to "rise," becoming visible over the horizon before sunrise.
A new piece, "A Real Scorcher! — Sirius At Heliacal Rising" by Bob King at Sky and Telescope offers a primer on the subject. Check the supplied link to see when it starts in your area. It looks like in Cleveland I may have just missed it.
Hat tip, Charles Faris, who has become a serious ally for this blog (or a Sirius ally?)
