"In his 1698 book Cosmotheoros, Christiaan Huygens estimated the distance to Sirius at 27664 times the distance of the Earth to the Sun (about 0.437 light years, translating to a parallax of roughly 7.5 arcseconds).[53]" -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirius#Distance" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I think that old measurement of the distance from Earth to Sirius might be correct! Only about half a lightyear. That explains why Sirius is so very bright in the night sky. Modern measurements with satellite Hipparcos showed a parallax of 380 milli-arc seconds but one source mentioned that Sirius A because of its extreme brightness required special attention. Hmm... From a conspiracy theory perspective special attention may be a smokescreen description for doctoring of data. For some reason those ruling the world may not want us to know the truth about how Sirius and the sun are orbiting each other and Sirius being much closer than claimed.
