Drawn to bright stars and gravitational acceleration like moths to a flame (and no, this isn't some weird Nazi victory/"Deus Vult!" timeline or whatever, this is a real shape that's been proposed for these craft!...). My artwork, "Solar sailing round twin suns".

science.nasa.govWebb Watches Carbon-Rich Dust Shells Form, Expand in Star System - NASA ScienceAstronomers have long tried to track down how elements like carbon, which is essential for life, become widely distributed across the universe. Now, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has examined one ongoing source of carbon-rich dust in our own Milky Way galaxy in greater detail: Wolf-Rayet 140, a system of two massive stars that follow […]

science.nasa.govDiscovery Alert: Mini-Neptune in Double Star System is a Planetary Puzzle - NASA ScienceThe Discovery A planet that could resemble a smaller version of our own Neptune orbits one of two Sun-like stars that also orbit each other. The planet dwells in the “habitable zone,” with a potentially moderate temperature, and poses a challenge to prevailing ideas of planet formation. Key Facts Astronomers once imagined that our solar […]
A fascinating and unlikely pair, perhaps doomed in the future.
Would love to watch a white dwarf devour a brown dwarf, wonder how many other stellar remnants have eaten their lesser twin and would we know?

Astronomy Magazine · This brown dwarf used to be inside its white dwarf companion.The pair has a very interesting history.
NASA’s Fermi Mission Nets 300 Gamma-Ray Pulsars … and Counting https://science.nasa.gov/universe/stars/neutron-stars/pulsars/nasas-fermi-mission-nets-300-gamma-ray-pulsars-and-counting/ #NASA #Astrophysics #BinaryStars #FermiGammaRaySpaceTelescope #GammaRays #GoddardSpaceFlightCenter #NeutronStars #Pulsars #Stars #TheUniverse
science.nasa.govNASA’s Fermi Mission Nets 300 Gamma-Ray Pulsars … and Counting - NASA ScienceA new catalog produced by a French-led international team of astronomers shows that NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has discovered 294 gamma-ray-emitting pulsars, while another 34 suspects await confirmation. This is 27 times the number known before the mission launched in 2008.
This is a really interesting take on #BinaryStars from #StarWars #ANewHope. I like it!
