Abstract:
The Dog Days of summer are the forty hottest days of the year, marked by the helical rising of the star Sirius. The Egyptians created the 365-day calendar by watching the movements of this star. There is some dispute about whether the Dog Days run from July 3 to August 11 or July 28 to September 5, but generally the term refers to any stifling hot days.
