Binary star systems have been known (or thought) to exist for a fair while, pretty funky stuff!

Are you giving me credit for the discovery of the planet or the planet itself? I need to know how much to inflate my ego.

Ha!

Hrmm we'll give double credit for a binary system. Confirmed!

I'm afraid of giving any more than that, your ego may well go plaid...


Gimme paw!

Many astronomers believe that at least half of all stars are in binary systems.

If it were M-Class, I'd agree with you. We don't know if it even has a desert though!

At the rate all these discoveries are being made I predict it won't be too long before we discover life on other planets, certainly within the next twenty-five years or so, I'd say.
