Star "hair" decorates the nights of February .. This way can

Its brightness and color make an unidentified bird believe

Majid Abu Zahra, president of the Jeddah Astronomical Society, said that the nights of February are ideal times to observe the hair star that we can easily see: c & # 39; is the brightest star in the sky and part of the stars of Canis Majors or Big Dog. The star is seen on the southeast or southwest horizon on the winter nights in the middle of spring.

He added that the nights of February are a wonderful time to see this star, while watching the horizon is before the end of summer, and despite the color of his white blue hair, this star is called the star of the rainbow because it often flashes in many colors, and its brightness and changes Its color sometimes causes people to believe that they see an unidentified flying object.

Abu Zahra pointed out that it is simply these color changes that occur when a bright star like a shining star pbades through a thick layer of the earth's atmosphere. The density and temperature of the air Earth's varied affect the light of visible stars, especially when the star is low in the sky. Also, but this is more obvious with the hair root because it is a very bright star.

He pointed out that hair from around the world was being watched and shone around the middle of the evening in December and mid-April, as well as westerly in the southwest in the middle of the evening and are easy to find, but whoever knows the constellations of the mighty or Gemini can simply draw a line through the powerful belt To find the star of poetry.

Abu Zahra said that the hair called "the star of the dog" because it is the main star of the group of stars "Major Canes" or the most big dog, and that during the summer, the star's hair behind the sun, seen from the Earth in the northern hemisphere, It appears in the east before sunrise ( near the sun in the sky).

The head of the Astronomical Society of Jeddah confirmed that the former observers had evoked the star of poetry and the sun because of the hot weather or dog's weather. In ancient Egypt, the "hair" was badociated with the gods Egyptian (Osiris), Sobdat and others. The ancient Egyptians pointed out that East rose before the sun every year immediately before the annual flood of the Nile.

He pointed out that while floods can cause destruction, they also bring new land and new life. "Osiris" was the god of Egypt for life, death, fertility and the birth of flora along the Nile, but Sobd – more closely badociated with the star of poetry – being the "god of agriculture" in Egypt and closely badociated with the Nile, known as the advent of "Subdet".

The brightest star of the star is -1.44, which is brighter than any other star. There are brighter stars of the hair in terms of real energy and light produced, but more distant, and seeming dull to us, usually the only objects that The best hair of the earth is the sun, the moon, the flower, the Jupiter, Mars and Mercury (and sometimes the hair is also brilliant with Mercury).

The president of the Astronomical Society of Jeddah concluded that the hair was clbadified in category "A". This means that it is warmer than the sun and its surface temperature is about 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit compared to the 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit sun. It is a star with a major sequence, that is to say that it produces most of its energy by converting hydrogen into helium by nuclear fusion, emphasizing that the hair has small installations, a pale star aptly called "the puppy". This name indicates violence, but in reality, the companion is a dead star called white dwarf the size of the earth, which is very small, so it is necessary to see it with the help of the telescope.
