I saw this image as a low-res bitmap before clicking on the higher-res version, misread Deneb as Dench, and started to wonder whether whoever created the image was mixing up two different kinds of star.

Sirius is my favorite because I can see it from my couch. Feel like it's watching over me like my pup used to.
