The Dog Days Are Here! Well, Maybe.
Description: The dog days of Ancient Rome lasted from about July3rd to August 11th. Back then the "helical rising" when the sun and Sirius rose together occurred in early July. Today, because Earth wobbles on its axis like a slowing top, Sirius rises later in summer than it did thousands of years ago. [Source: WXIX (Cincinnati, Ohio)]
