Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky
Sirius, in the constellation Canis Major, shines at magnitude -1.46, so has long been a well-known star to many ancient cultures. It’s the fifth-closest star system to our own. It’s best described as Sirius A since a second star, Sirius B, is also part of what is a binary system.

Answer:
Sirius
Sirius, also known as the Dog Star or Sirius A, is the brightest star in Earth's night sky. The name means "glowing" in Greek — a fitting description, as only a few planets, the full moon and the International Space Station outshine this star. Because Sirius is so bright, it was well-known to the ancients.
