What is Canopus?A word of exclamation used to describe such strange phenomenon as when a closeted beastialist sniffs the anus of a pregnant dog to get a semi-permanent boner. That scraggy old man is canopussing Tim's dog. Canopus - meme gifCanopus - videoCanopus - what is it?Canopus (/kəˈnoʊpəs/)is the brightest star in the southern constellation of Carina and the second-brightest star in the night sky. It is also designated α Carinae, which is Latinised to Alpha Carinae. With a visual apparent magnitude of −0.74, it is outshone only by Sirius. Located around 310 light-years from the Sun, Canopus is a bright giant of spectral type A9, so it is essentially white when seen with the naked eye. It has a luminosity over 10,000 times the luminosity of the Sun, is eight times as massive, and has expanded to 71 times the Sun's radius. Its enlarged photosphere has an effective temperature of around 7,400 K. Canopus is undergoing core helium burning and is currently in the so-called blue loop phase of its evolution, having already passed through the red-giant branch after exhausting the hydrogen in its core. Canopus is a source of X-rays, which are likely being emitted from its corona. I love Canopus star! |
