  • $\begingroup$ Important note: just because the star is 25 times more luminescent than the sun doesn't mean that the moon would be that much brighter. The planet would have to be about 5 times as far away to keep from being roasted, so the apparent brightness would be about the same as on Earth. Sirius A would actually be quite obnoxious to orbit, because it would have peak emissions in the hard ultraviolet range (nearly X-rays) while the sun has peak emissions in the visible range. $\endgroup$
