Binary systemIts story
53 Aquarii is not one star but two — a G-type binary system just 66 light-years away. Two yellow suns, much like our own, dance around each other in an orbit the eye cannot resolve but telescopes can. Its light takes less than a human lifetime to arrive; the year it left is still within the memory of grandparents.
