We re Surrounded By Double Stars, New 3D Map Suggests

Gif: UC Berkeley/Gizmodo A newly compiled 3D map has revealed more than 1 million binary star pairs located within 3,000 light years of Earth, highlighting the ubiquity of these celestial objects. Advertisement Remember that sublime moment in Star Wars when an introspective Luke Skywalker gazes upon a double sunset on Tatooine? To our eyes, that’s some seriously exotic stuff, but binary star systems are actually quite common, representing at least half of all Sun-like stars in the Milky Way. That said, a hefty portion of these include “wide binaries,” in which distances between stellar companions exceeds 10 AU, or 10 times the average distance from the Earth to the Sun (it’s also a comparable distance between the Earth and Saturn).

3D map of a million binary stars | Space

February 23, 2021 A new atlas of nearby binary stars plots more than a million pairs and reveals a profusion of identical twins. Scientists said yesterday (February 22, 2021) that they’ve now created a 3D plot of more than a million pairs of binary stars, that is, double stars orbiting a common center of gravity. Astronomer Kareem El-Badry of UC Berkeley created the new plot, which wildly improves upon previous data that revealed just 200 double-star pairs. The project was made possible, of course, by the European Space Agency’s Gaia space observatory, which is engaged in a multi-year process to create a 3D map of our home galaxy, the Milky Way. In the process, Gaia has revealed many mind-boggling insights. Watch a fly-through of Gaia’s 3D plot of binary stars in the video above.
