Canis minor or canis major?

[Astorix]

Er.. i'm not sure, i might have! there were alot of stars i did not know what they belonged to and if they were in between what i saw i could well have done! where abouts would they have been last night?

[barkis]

HehHehHeh!!. Brian is having a little fun with you Astorix.

Canis means Dog, and Canis Major/Minor, refers to Sirius, which is called the Dog Star, and Minor is the Pup, a small unseen binary which is a companion of Sirius. They both orbit around a common cente of gravity.

Yeah, but not for long mate. You will soon learn, and we are here to help you along. And It's good you can take a joke.

Astronomy has to have a fun side too..

I was only asking if his dog was small or large....

[Astorix]

Hi brianb, I have a small border/jack Russell terrier. Very sweet, however can be very mischievous!

I look forward to increasing my knowledge of astronomy!

Sounds very similar to my 2 yr old Yorkie. Just last week she took on a Huskie. All the other dog was doing was sniffing my dogs backside. Thats like a dog hand shake.

Lol , my dog thinks she is a blumming bear!

Mine thinks she rules the universe except when confronted with a white coloured dog. Then she reverts back to being a puppy.
