About half of all the stars in the sky are part of binary systems, with two stars orbiting each other. Some binary stars orbit each other so closely that they share the same atmosphere, giving the system a peanut shape. While most such contact binary systems are stable, some do become unstable and either eject one partner or eventually merge.
Early attempts at 3D space simulation date back as far as 1974's Spasim, an online multi-player space simulator in which players attempt to destroy each other's ships. The earliest known space trader dates to 1974's Star Trader, a game where the entire interface was text-only and included a star map with multiple ports buying and selling 6 ...
The online video game platform and game creation system Roblox has numerous games (officially referred to as "experiences") [1] [2] created by users of its creation tool, Roblox Studio. Due to Roblox ' s popularity, various games created on the site have grown in popularity, with some games having millions of monthly active players and 5,000 ...
Although objects that form part of a planetary system move, and stars rotate about their axes and orbit each other in multiple star systems, stellar proper motion or precession is not simulated, and galaxies are at fixed locations and do not rotate. Most real-world spacecraft such as Voyager 2 are not provided with SpaceEngine. The few ...

Double Star is a two-player game about space warfare, [1] and operates on the belief that warfare between two star systems is possible but expensive and difficult. [2]This game is based in a binary star system, where the two stars orbit each other, and each star has a different human colony orbiting it; one is of Chinese descent, the other Arab.
Binary stars are also classified based on orbit. Wide binaries are objects with orbits that keep them apart from one another. They evolve separately and have very little effect on each other. Close binaries are close to each other and are able to transfer mass from one another. They can also be classified based on how we observe them.
An animation showing a low eccentricity orbit (near-circle, in red), and a high eccentricity orbit (ellipse, in purple). In celestial mechanics, an orbit (also known as orbital revolution) is the curved trajectory of an object [1] such as the trajectory of a planet around a star, or of a natural satellite around a planet, or of an artificial satellite around an object or position in space such ...
