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).
HD 224635 and HD 224636 is a pair of stars comprising a binary star system in the constellation Andromeda.They are located approximately 94 light years away [7] and they orbit each other every 717 years.
The two stars revolve each other along a circular orbit with the components separated by 12.9 times the Sun's radius. [3] Due to occultation of each component by the other, the apparent magnitude of the system decreased by 0.3 and 0.4 magnitudes over the course of the binary's orbit, which takes 34 hours 42.6 minutes to complete.
A mysterious object unlike anything ever seen before has been spotted by astronomers. Observations of the “spooky” item showed it releasing a giant burst of energy three times an hour.

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 and Lambda, third pair Kappa and Iota Ursa Majoris. The pairs also mark three of the bear's paws.
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.
The most common kinds of binary system are binary stars and binary asteroids, but brown dwarfs, planets, neutron stars, black holes and galaxies can also form binaries. A multiple system is similar but consists of three or more objects, for example triple stars and triple asteroids (a more common term than 'trinary').
