About the Name— Sirius Chef
Sirius is a star system and the brightest star in the night sky. The name "Sirius" comes from the Ancient Greek word "Seirios" which means "glowing." Sirius appears bright because of both its intrinsic luminosity and its proximity to Earth. Sirius is gradually moving closer, so it will slightly increase in brightness over the next 60,000 years. After that time, its distance will begin to increase and it will become fainter, but it will continue to be the brightest star in the Earth's sky for the next 210,000 years.
Sirius is also known colloquially as the "Dog Star", reflecting its prominence in its constellation, Canis Major (Greater Dog). The heliacal rising of Sirius (which occurs annually when it first becomes visible above the eastern horizon for a brief moment just before sunrise, after a period of time when it had not been visible) marked the flooding of the Nile in Ancient Egypt and the "dog days of summer" for the ancient Greeks. To the Polynesians in the Southern Hemisphere, the star marked winter and was an important reference for their navigation around the Pacific Ocean.
Seriously, we think this star system is pretty cool and chose it as the logo for Sirius Chef Muffin Splitter. After all, everyone needs a "star" go-to gadget or two in their kitchen to make life easier, and English Muffin aficionados tell us this tool does just that! Bon Appetit!
