The Sirius Astronomy Association is a prominent organization dedicated to enhancing public interest and understanding of astronomy. Founded in Algeria, it actively engages both amateur and professional astronomers through a variety of educational initiatives and events. Each year, the Association hosts the National Festival in Popular Astronomy, the latest of which took place from June 22-24, 2023, in Constantine. This year's theme, "The Infrared Universe," celebrated the one-year anniversary of the James Webb Space Telescope.

Sirius offers a range of services and activities, including astrophotography training workshops, science camps, and competitions like the Cirta-Science contests. Additionally, they run the Arabic mirror of the Astronomy Picture of the Day, promoting accessibility to astronomical concepts in the Arabic language. Their commitment to scientific outreach is complemented by their involvement in international collaborations and local events, ensuring a vibrant community for astronomy enthusiasts across the region.
