A multiple star system consists of two or more stars that appear from Earth to be close to one another in the sky. [dubious – discuss] This may result from the stars actually being physically close and gravitationally bound to each other, in which case it is a physical multiple star, or this closeness may be merely apparent, in which case it is an optical multiple star [a] Physical multiple ...
A circumtriple planet is a celestial mass that is hypothesized to be orbiting not only a single star but three stars at the same time. [1] Scientists observing the star system GW Ori , which is a huge disk of dust and gases about 1,300 light years away from Earth, suspect that there may be a circumtriple planet orbiting the three stars.

The orbit of HD 188753 BC around A. The primary star, HD 188753 A, is similar to the Sun [9] with a mass only 6% larger and a stellar classification of G8V. [3] Orbiting this primary at a distance of 12.3 AU [10] is a pair of smaller stars that orbit each other with a period of 156.0 ± 0.1 days, a semi-major axis of 0.67 AU, and eccentricity of 0.1 ± 0.03.
The stars with the most confirmed planets are the Sun (the Solar System's star) and Kepler-90, with 8 confirmed planets each, followed by TRAPPIST-1 with 7 planets. The 1,033 multiplanetary systems are listed below according to the star's distance from Earth. Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Solar System, has three planets (b, c and d).
A binary star or binary star system is a system of two stars that are gravitationally bound to and in orbit around each other. Binary stars in the night sky that are seen as a single object to the naked eye are often resolved as separate stars using a telescope, in which case they are called visual binaries. Many visual binaries have long ...
The film was released on 23 August 2012 in Russia, [4] then on 15 March 2013 in the US, in a limited capacity (11 theaters initially).
