The Three Leaps of the Gazelle consists of three pairs of stars in Ursa Major aligned in a row spanning about 30 degrees. In Arabic lore, the star pairs are pictured as the hoof prints of a gazelle startled from a pond by Leo the lion. (The "pond" is pictured as the Coma Star Cluster.) The first pair of stars are Xi and Nu, second pair Upsilon ...

Analysis of a color-age star formation angle sequence of the Fourier components establishes that the strong outer pair is the leading pair A Fourier component image of the arm pairs is shown with one of the pair of arms marked for the newly discovered inner CCW pair (black dots) as well as one of the already known (CW) outer pair (white dots).

Double stars, a pair of stars that appear close to each other, have been observed since the invention of the telescope.Early examples include Mizar and Acrux.Mizar, in the Big Dipper (), was observed to be double by Giovanni Battista Riccioli in 1650 [1] [2] (and probably earlier by Benedetto Castelli and Galileo).

Unlike the lonely sun, about half the stars in our Milky Way galaxy are in a long-term committed relationship with another star, orbiting each another in a celestial marriage called a binary system.
Seen from a superior planet, an inferior planet on the opposite side of the Sun is in superior conjunction with the Sun. An inferior conjunction occurs when the two planets align on the same side of the Sun. At inferior conjunction, the superior planet is "in opposition" to the Sun as seen from the inferior planet (see the diagram).
It is the first star pair ever found near a supermassive black hole. Binary stars often appear as a single object in the night sky to the naked eye, but can often be detected with telescopes and ...
