Brightest star in Earth's sky, infected via the Epsilon Eridani chain. Even this famous beacon is fading under Astrophage breeding.
Sirius
The night sky's brightest star, a nearby A-type binary in Canis Major. Its white spark is hard to miss on winter evenings, and a faint white-dwarf companion orbits beside it.
Gaia has no usable parallax for this star (common for bright multiples). Distance uses the Hipparcos parallax instead.
