Sirius was commonly thought to cause madness in 18th century England.
Sirius was the name of the flagship in the first fleet of ships that brought Europeans to Australia, landing in present-day Sydney Harbour on January 26th, 1788.
In 1844, Sirius was found to be a binary system. In 1915, astronomers at the Mount Wilson Observatory discovered that Sirius B is a white dwarf — the first ever discovered.
Sirius is the home star system of the reptoid alien visitors in the television series V.
