I wrote this piece after reading about Sirius, this being a portion of the article:

"Sirius B is invisible to the naked eye but packs almost the entire mass of our sun into a globe only 4 times as large as the Earth. Sirius B's surface is 300 times harder than diamonds, while its interior has a density 3,000 times that of diamonds. Spinning on its axis about 23 times a minute, it generates huge magnetic fields around it.

The two stars, Sirius A and Sirius B move around each other, constantly exchanging particles. Because of its greater density and magnetic field, Sirius B takes the lion's share, taking gases and materials off of its larger host body.

Sirius B has a super-heavy gravitationally powerful star made of concentrated super-dense matter (essence) with the number 50 associated with it (describing its orbital period).

Every 49.9 years, Sirius A and B, come as close together as their orbits allow, creating huge magnetic storms between them. As they approach each other, the stars both begin to spin faster as tidal forces become stronger, finally flip-flopping over, actually trading places with each other. This energy is eventually released to flow on magnetic field lines to the Sun, which transmits it like a lens to all the planets."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Movements of helix entwine my being,
Rising and falling with irregular
Heartbeats. Dogma deepens to spiraling;
A and B can flow within secular.

Sirius frees its brilliance, glimmers
With winks and radiates intense blueness.
Close, so close, searching star; glow and simmer
While opening your charms to flash sun-lens.

Alas, swift Sirius, I see a C
Too near to bring surcease to cosmic space!
An earth of waste encumbers shining free;
Tell me, is it too late to win this race…?

Fall gentle, Sirius above, laved years
Are proof that wisdom cradles starburst fears.
