Twin Star Systems May Hold Key to Planet Formation Insights
Friday, 16 May 2025 05:05
Astronomers have developed a new approach to studying planet formation by focusing on "twin" binary star systems, where two stars born at the same time and place orbit each other. This fresh perspective, detailed in a Yale study, suggests that certain binary systems could offer unique insights into how planetary systems form, much like comparing human twins in biological research.
