Why the game is back on (some) iPhones... August 17, 2024 View Online | Sign Up | Shop PRESENTED BY Good morning. You instinctively know it's the "dog days of summer" (the back sweat gives it away), but do you know why it's called the dog days of summer? According to the Farmers' Almanac , the phrase originated in ancient Roman times. The Romans noticed that the star they called Sirius, the Dog Star, was in conjunction with the sun in late July. They believed the Dog Star's brightness made things hotter on Earth during the late summer months. So, they named this period diēs caniculārēs, or "days of the dog star," which was later shortened to "dog days." Very interested to learn this. We always thought it was an anti-dog smear campaign created by cats. —Sam Klebanov, Molly Liebergall, Matty Merritt, Abby Rubenstei...
