 Also, the dog days of summer technically begin from July 3rd to August 11th, named in honor of the helical rising of the bright star Sirius, which will once again start rising in the east-southeast before dawn toward the end, or I should say the beginning of early August.

It'll be in the star fields of Sagittarius.
