An exciting prospect having only recently started life in financial services. Since starting at Canopus I now consider myself an expert on the many coffee shops in the surrounding area and can often be found there during lunch. Outside of work I keep myself busy playing football, a small amount of running and the odd bit of powerlifting.
If you live in the U.S., you’ll probably have to do a little travelling in order to find a clear view of Canopus, since the star sits far enough south that it’s invisible from a good portion of the continental U.S. Even in southern states, Canopus hops only briefly over the horizon during the fall and winter months.
Canopus also maintains a very high surface temperature of 7,350K, which is roughly 3,000°F hotter than the Sun’s visible surface. But in the same way that the light from stars like Deneb or Polaris loses some of its punch during the long trip to Earth, the vast distance of 300 light-years separating us from Canopus diminishes its apparent output.
In one version of a Navajo myth from the southwestern U.S., Canopus was known as “M’ii Bizo,” a star that the Coyote had placed low in the southern sky over his mountain. Polynesians knew it as “Atutuahi,” and used the star as a navigational aid during long ocean voyages out of sight of other landmarks.
Some of their previous competitors included Matrox and Pinnacle Systems. In 2005 Thomson Multimedia acquired Canopus to bolster their Grass Valley broadcasting and network product line.
