Multiple Star Systems

Multiple star systems are groups of two or more stars that orbit each other due to gravity. Unlike our single Sun, these systems can include binaries (two stars), trinaries (three stars), or even larger groups. They vary in size and complexity, with stars connected through gravitational forces that keep them bound over time. Studying these systems helps astronomers understand stellar formation, evolution, and dynamics. They are common in the universe and can appear as beautiful, intricate arrangements seen through telescopes. Overall, multiple star systems reveal the diversity and complexity of celestial objects beyond our solitary Sun.
