Sirius is associated with the Egyptian goddess Isis and is referenced also by many first nation peoples
It is the star system from which it is reputed that Semi-Aquatic aliens visited the Dogon tribe of Mali 5000 years ago
Sirius is the brightest naked eye star in the night sky when visible is in cosmic spitting distance being a mere 7 or so light years away
Perhaps it's brightness has been masked to reveal other less visible stars nearby.
It would be interesting to see what other stars have been masked and if they too are the brighter stars
