Solar system could have had TWO stars - New theory which could explain origin of life THE Sun may have once been part of a binary system which could help to explain how life on Earth came to be.

Binary code, also known as the binary system, is a base-2 numbering system that uses a series of 0s and 1s to represent numbers. The position of these 0s and 1s indicates the presence or absence ...

A new study shows that being in a binary star system can keep a massive star spinning fast enough to produce such powerful explosions.

"Twisted Tatooine" binary star systems could be a major player in ejecting rogue planets that go on to drift through the Milky Way without a stellar parent to heat or illuminate them.

Could sunset in our solar system once have looked very different? A new study suggests our sun may once have had a binary companion.
