Original Note:
While Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky, the sun is the brightest star in the sky. The sun would need to be 1.7 light years further from earth for Sirius to be the brightest star in the sky. https://www.newscientist.com/lastword/mg24933262-900-how-far-can-you-go-before-the-sun-no-longer-appears-the-shiniest-star/#:~:text=Sirius%20has%20a%20luminosity%2025.4,than%20that%20of%20the%20sun.
