  1. Constraining properties of dust formed in #WolfRayet binary WR 112 using mid-infrared and millimeter observations: arxiv.org/abs/2511.19572 -> ALMA and JWST reveal nanometer-scale carbon #dust grains emanating from a massive #BinaryStar system: public.nrao.edu/news/a-quintil

  2. I think we can all at least agree, that the Solar System is non-binary.

    Estimates for binary stars in the Milky Way vary, but many sources suggest that roughly 50% to 85% of all stars are in binary or multiple-star systems.

    Multiple star systems sound interesting, hmm, but the point is! Our Solar System is non-binary 🚥

  5. Scientists uncovered a #binarystar system close to #blackhole near center of #MilkyWay, confirming a hypothesis made by happenstance nearly a century ago, according to a paper published in Nature Communications. Scientists previously predicted the existence of a binary #star system -- one in which two stars are gravitationally bound to one another around a common center of gravity -- in the vicinity of the black hole at the center of the galaxy, called #SagittariusA*.

  6. Once in a lifetime: The faint #binarystar T CrB will be visible as the 8th star in the #NorthernCrown for a few days during its 80-year periodic #Nova event sometime this summer. Who's waiting with us?

  11. CW: Huge star explosion to appear in sky in once-in-a-lifetime event
    > The binary star system in the constellation Corona Borealis — “northern crown” — is normally too dim to see with the naked eye.
    >
    > But every 80 years or so, exchanges between its two stars, which are locked in a deadly embrace, spark a runaway nuclear explosion.

  12. #Yale 📆 February 22, 2024 During some seasons of the year, it would be daytime continuously, with one star lighting up one side of the planet 🪐, while the other star was lighting the other half of the planet. But that sunlight ☀️ would not always be blazing hot, because one of the stars would be much farther away.

    In other seasons of the year, both #suns would light up the same side of the planet, with one sun appearing much larger than the other. news.yale.edu/2024/02/22/new-b

  13. Helium-burning white dwarf:
    Using #ESA_XMM and #eROSITA #spacetelescope, a team lead by #MPE researchers discovered a #binarystar🌟🌟, where material flows onto a #WhiteDwarf, but instead of #hydrogen, the material is #helium, making it the first helium-burning white dwarf ever discovered!

  17. This is awesome.
    This scifi writer has created a sundial for a hypothetical planet in a binary star system. Top notch worldbuilding.

  18. We report the detection of a gas-giant #planet in orbit around both stars of an eclipsing #binarystar system that also contains a smaller, inner transiting planet . The new planet was discovered using radial-velocity data , it is a 65.2 M⊕ #circumbinary planet with a period of 215.5 days. This is the first detection of a circumbinary planet using radial-velocity observations alone, and makes it only the second confirmed multiplanet circumbinary system to date: arxiv.org/abs/2301.10794
